A gorgeous stretch of weather is expected the last weekend in July.
After weeks of record-breaking heat Boston residents can get excited for perfect beach weather.
Temperatures should be well into the 80s Friday through Sunday, potentially approaching 90 on Sunday away from the coastline. There’s virtually no chance of any precipitation this weekend with completely sunny skies.
The clear skies should arrive after several cloudy days with the chance of a couple showers in the middle of the week.
There will be humidity this weekend, but it should be relatively comfortable compared to the tropical air Boston residents have endured this summer.
The more reasonable dew point means Friday through Sunday mornings will begin in the 60s, good news for those who have early tee times or want to get in an early swim. By the mid to late morning, temperatures will rise to over 80°. They will stay in the 80s up until just before sunset.
This is the final full weekend of 8:00 sunsets. Although, technically, on Sunday in Boston the sun will set just before 8:00 p.m.
