Boston residents can look forward to a beautiful first day of November. After a chilly morning, the day quickly brightens under clear skies, and temperatures rise into the upper 50s for most of the city, with a few neighborhoods reaching the low 60s.
Daylight‑saving time ends
Sunday also marks the end of daylight‑saving time. Clocks are set back one hour, so sunrise now occurs around 6:15 a.m. and sunset comes at 4:37 p.m. The earlier darkness is offset by the warm, sunny afternoon, making for a comfortable transition into standard time.
Extended stretch of pleasant fall weather
High pressure continues to dominate the region, keeping the weather quiet and dry. Meteorologists predict that the mild conditions will persist through the week. Monday is expected to stay in the 60s, and the trend should hold at least through Thursday.
Tuesday may bring a few additional clouds, but Wednesday is forecast to clear again. Afternoon highs are projected to stay in the 60s each day, with the possibility of reaching the 70s by Thursday—more than 10 degrees above the normal November temperature of 57 °F.
Morning chill, comfortable evenings
While mornings will remain brisk, the afternoons will feel very comfortable for outdoor activities, errands, or a stroll along the Charles River. The next chance for rain is expected late Thursday into Friday, which could bring a wet end to the week.
What to expect later in the week
Looking ahead, the forecast suggests a brief return of clouds on Friday, but overall the week should remain dry and mild. Residents planning weekend outings can anticipate pleasant weather, with temperatures staying in the comfortable mid‑60s range.
Overall, the combination of sunny skies, a gentle warm‑up, and the shift back to standard time makes for an inviting start to November in Boston. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, and plan any outdoor activities before the weekend’s expected rain arrives.
