pollen count

Many people are reporting the pollen is affecting their allergies more than usual this year.

The sun has returned!  It’s been a long stretch of clouds – specifically, nine days since the last time Boston saw less than 50% cloud cover averaged over the course of a day – and the emerging strong sun will undoubtedly deliver an emotional boost to New Englanders.  Also getting a boost Thursday and Friday will be the pollen count…

Tuesday is the second and final of the paired dry, breezy days favoring elevated brush fire danger and very high tree pollen count. For the second day in a row, a “Red Flag Warning” has been hoisted in part of New England by the U.S. government. Today it is focused on the entire Granite State of New Hampshire and most...

In the midst of a dry weather pattern, the ocean plays a big role in our daily forecast, from rip currents to daytime temperature.  Tropical storm Arthur has become non-tropical well south of New England but it churned waves that continue to spread north. Wednesday morning buoy reports south of New England indicate 8 to 13 foot seas.  On our…

While the weather world turned its attention to tropical storm Arthur this weekend, developing before the official start of hurricane season and brushing along the outer banks of North Carolina, the New England forecast hasn’t changed. Arthur will have no direct impact for most of us.  “Most of us” excludes mariners as a swell moving north of Arthur’s path...

Fresh, spring air has taken hold of New England – dry enough in most spots for ample sunshine, though cold air aloft is still making for enough clash between warm surface air and upper level colder air. That clash will create clouds that will produce a few showers in Maine and the Great North Woods of New Hampshire Tuesday, particularly…

Today: Pleasant, spring air with sun. Highs near 60. Overnight Tuesday Night: Mostly clear. Lows around 40. Wednesday: Sun & clouds, night showers. Highs near 60, 50s coast.

Any given New England spring day may not be billed with quite so much optimism for high temperatures near 50 at the coast and 60 inland, a high pollen count, a high UV index and a moderate brush fire danger…But today comes on the heels of recent chilly, wet and cloudy weather, and many will find the day delightful.  But…

Tuesday: Mild. Increasing clouds. Highs in the upper 50s to around 60.
