Boston’s In Heat

by Chandra on June 9th, 2008

Desert HeatIf you’ve been thinking about coming to Boston in the next couple of days and you have a choice of plans, I strongly suggest not bothering because, for the third day in a row, it is hot, hot, hot. In fact, tomorrow will mark the fourth day of stifling heat.

News outlets report temperatures well above the 90s and inching towards triple digits that are twenty degrees higher than normal.

On a typical day at about this time of June, it would be in the relatively calm and cool mid-70s. Instead, however, area residents are enduring what feels like an unexpected blast of summer in the Arizona desert.

Make sure to take the weather situation under advisement if you’re supposed to travel to Boston or New England in the next day or so. The Weather Channel predicts the temperature will become more agreeable by Wednesday, provided that the forecasters have gotten the facts and figures right.

A video follows the jump that discusses the widespread impact of the current extreme weather, which has ranged from drains on electricity to air quality concerns to a drowning.
