Boston Area Experiences First Heat Wave of 2021

6/8/2021 (Permalink)

Temperatures in the Greater Boston Area reached well over 90 this past weekend

Last Monday, June 7th, Boston area residents turned up their A/C and hopped in pools as the first heat wave of 2021 rolled through the Greater Boston Area. A heat wave is defined as three or more days of 90-degree or higher temperatures, and the past weekend surely lived up to heat wave standards. The grueling heat began on Saturday, June 5th, as temperatures hit 90 degrees in Boston. Then on Sunday, Boston reached 93 degrees. Communities in Norwood, Dedham, Westwood, Walpole, and Medfield attempted to cool off as the heat came through, showing signs of a hot summer ahead. “As always, be smart and hydrate,” said Bill Simpson, meteorologist at the National Weather Service, adding that people should try to take care of their outside tasks early or late when it’s not as hot. SERVPRO of Norwood/West Roxbury reminds all community members to be safe in the heat, and not over-exert themselves because it can be dangerous to the body.
