Weather for Boston

Best time to visit:

Modern Boston is very much a microcosm of New England. It has the typical east coast climate of hot, humid summers and freezing winters. In autumn, the white church steeples of the suburbs create a stunning contrast to the turning colours of the surrounding trees.
