New England likely to see a warm autumn, meteorologists say

Although fall is right around the corner, there should still be plenty of time to enjoy outdoor activities without the need to bundle up. That’s because meteorologists are now predicting that the Boston area will see an autumn that is warmer than average.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center recently released a temperature outlook for September, October, and November. It shows that most of New England has a high chance of experiencing temperatures that are warmer than what is normally seen during the fall months.

“That’s not to say we won’t have stretches where a week or two will be below average. But overall the odds are favoring more of a warmer fall compared to average,” said Francis Tarasiewicz, a meteorologist at the NWS Boston office.
