At this point in the summer season, if you haven’t taken your vacation and this is your week, you picked a great one. There will be limited, if any, shower activity until perhaps the weekend and even then we may escape dry. Temperatures are going to be warm enough for summer activities, but not so warm that you’ll need to stay in air conditioning.
Humidity levels are going to be comfortable and this means that the nights will be wonderful for sleeping. All in all, I would say this is a very nice week ahead. The high will be within a couple of degrees of 80 or 81 and winds are going to be negligible.
With the lower dew points when you get up in the morning, temperatures will be around 60 degrees — you can add about 5 to 7 degrees to that number in downtown Boston.

The sunniest part of the day is likely to be the morning with clouds building in the afternoon.
Temperatures will be between 75 and 80 and winds will be light. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are all quite similar and Friday is likely the same as well. We call this type of forecasting “persistence.
” This is because there’s really not much change day to day and we use persistence, or the lack of change, to make the forecast. Think of it like a groundhog day week in August. As we head toward the weekend, Saturday is looking like the best of the two weekend days.
There may be some showers arriving on Sunday, but that’s still far off that I wouldn’t change any plans. The sunrises will be around 5:50 a.m.
this week and sunsets around 7:45 p.m. Southern New England: Some cloudiness increases during the day with temperatures between 75 and 80 and a light wind.
Western Mass.: Skies will become partly sunny during Monday afternoon and there could be a little sprinkle with temperatures in the 70s. Cape Cod and Islands: One of the best weeks of the entire summer is underway with sunshine through Friday and temperatures within a couple of degrees of 80 along with light winds.
