Officially a Heat Wave in Southern New England

It’s official– we’ve had three days of high temperatures at or above 90 degrees, which means we’ve had our first heat wave of 2025.

Sunday’s high at TF Green was 94, Monday’s was 91, and today’s topped them both at a whopping 100 degrees.

Overnight tonight, we’ll “cool” down, if you can call it that. Lows will be in the mid to upper 70s, nearly 20 degrees above average for this time of year. This makes it just as important to make sure that A/C is still working overnight, so your body can properly cool down after an already-hot day.

Wednesday, highs will improve slightly. The coast will be in the mid to upper 80s, while inland cities will be in the upper 80s and low 90s. With the humidity and sun angle, it’ll feel like we’re in the mid/upper 90s in the afternoon. For that reason, nearly all of Southern New England will be in a Heat Advisory through 8 PM tomorrow.

We also have a front passing through New England later tomorrow that could drive a few showers and even a thunderstorm or two. While severe thunderstorm chances are low near us, they aren’t zero. We could sneak in a stray storm with some gusty winds late in the afternoon/evening. Make sure you’re staying weather aware.

Thursday, cooler air following the front drives temperatures way back down! We’ll have highs in the low 70s.
