What are the average amount of days that get over 90 degrees in Boston MA?

Answer 1

I believe the average is 12, at the weather station. But that is on the shoreline and often subject to cool sea breezes. Every mile westward one goes there are more hot days. Probably the western suburbs have 25 or so.

Climate (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Boston experiences a continental climate that is very common in New England, but with distinct maritime influences due to its position on the Atlantic Ocean. The weather in Boston changes rapidly. It is not uncommon for the city to experience temperature swings of 54 Fahrenheit degrees (30 Celsius degrees) or more over the course of a couple of days. Summers are typically hot and humid, while winters are cold, windy and snowy. It has been known to snow in May or October but these events are rare.[29][30]

The earliest recorded 90 °F (32.2 °C) temperature in a year was in late March 1998, while February in Boston has seen 70 (21 °C) degrees only once in recorded history, on February 24, 1985. Spring in Boston can be hot, with temperatures in the 90s when winds are from offshore, though it is just as possible for a day in late May to remain in the 40s due to cool ocean waters. The hottest month is July, with an average high of 81.9 °F (27.7 °C) and a low of 65.1 °F (18.4 °C), conditions are usually humid. The coldest month is January, with an average high of 35.8 °F (2.1 °C) and a low of 21.6 °F (-5.6 °C).[31] Periods exceeding 90 °F in summer and below 10 °F in winter are not uncommon, but rarely prolonged. The record high temperature is 104 °F (40 °C), recorded July 4, 1911. The record low temperature is -18 °F (-28 °C), recorded on February 9, 1934.[32]

The city averages about 42 in (108 cm) of rainfall a year. It also coincidentally averages about 42 in (108 cm) of snowfall a year, although this increases dramatically as one goes inland away from the city.[33] Massachusetts' geographic location's jutting out into the North Atlantic also make the city very prone to Nor'easter weather systems that can produce much snow and rain.[34] Fog is prevalent, particularly in spring and early summer and the occasional tropical storm or hurricane can threaten the region, especially in early autumn.

Answer 3

I would say between 5-10 days a year. Usually they are in bunches of 2-3 days at a time.

Answer 4

i'll tell you right now man... because of the humidity it can be in the mid 80s and the heat index will be in the upper 90s... its not like cali or arizona where its a dry heat... most of the summer humidity will be up around 100% every day... when its that bad even the 80s are disgustingly hot

Answer 5

^^^That sounds about right, it gets hot but its usually consecutive and then there isnt any more like that for a while.
