Boston and New England have had some serious Saturday weather issues this spring, with plenty of rain falling. That might not change this weekend, but it isn’t all bad news.
In New England, we are trained to endure the long winter and, many times, a rough early spring with the promise of a (sunny) light at the end of the tunnel. We feel as though we “pay our dues” and once Memorial Day hits, it is time to collect.
Weekend rain in New England
Would you believe it if you heard that this wet Saturday spring pattern has actually been going on for three years now?
If you look at meteorological spring (March-May) in Boston:
- In 2023 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays (and that was followed by rain on all 4 Saturdays in June)
- In 2024 it rained on 7 of 13 Saturdays
- In 2025 it rained on 8 of 14 Saturdays (and now 1 of 1 in June)
Doing a little math, that equates to rain on 55% of spring Saturdays over the last three years…
