News - Sunny skies and comfortable temperatures set to delight New England.

As Monday dawns on New England, early risers may notice lingering clouds, remnants of overnight showers. By mid-morning, however, New Englanders can look forward to clear, sunny skies. A refreshing westerly breeze will usher in drier air throughout the day, alleviating the early morning humidity and setting a pleasant tone for the week. For those planning outdoor activities, this forecast holds steady through Wednesday with temperatures in the low 80s and minimal humidity. With no rain anticipated, this stretch promises a perfect opportunity for vacations or any outdoor plans. By Thursday, a shift occurs as warmer and more humid conditions begin to build, pushing temperatures into the mid to upper 80s. While there is a slight chance of a shower Thursday night, it's not expected to be impactful and may be missed by many. This period marks a gradual reduction in morning daylight as the year's earliest sunrise has passed. Sunrise on Monday is noted at 5:07 AM, with daylight extending into the evening until the solstice on June 21.
