July is hot. Average highs reach 82°F (28°C), but thanks to humidity, it feels like 90°F (32°C). It’s the month where your air conditioner becomes your best friend.
Think of it as walking into a warm, wet blanket. But hey, it’s also the time for lobster rolls and Fenway Park nights. The heat is worth it for a clamshell of fried clams, right?
August: The Dog Days
August stays hot, with average highs around 80°F (27°C). It’s essentially July’s twin, but with a little more haze and a lot more humidity. You’ll hear people say, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”
They’re not wrong. The air gets thick, like breathing through a warm sponge. But the beaches are packed, and the sunsets over the Charles River are chef’s kiss.
