After a quiet June (look at last June vs. this June) below, here's what to expect for the Atlantic tropics in July! Warming sea surface temperatures & calming trade winds may lead to an uptick of activity. Still, July only averages one named storm per season.

The weather played a role in the Battle of Gettysburg 162 years ago. The 3-day war-changing tilt saw excessive heat & a severe thunderstorm making conditions unbearable, leading to more casualties. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/01/met… #mawx #nhwx #vtwx #mewx #ctwx #riwx #pawx

If you have an early day tomorrow & are traveling, pay attention to the sky. A sunny start will lead to a stormy finish with a downpour or severe t-storm possible, mainly after 5 pm in Boston towards the Cape. Earlier west & north. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #vtwx #ctwx #mewx

Upgraded chance for severe thunderstorms Thursday evening. Careful if you're on the roads traveling between 3 and 8 pm across Southern New England. #mawx #ctwx #riwx #boston The Boston Globe

We've seen 5 straight months of above-average temps across New England. Signals point to a warmer July. Thanks to a more interior track of the jet stream, bringing the moisture-filled side of storms into the picture, resulting in temperatures remaining elevated. July sees peak

Folks hitting the road early - pay attention to the weather. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will barrel through New England this afternoon. Strong winds to 65 mph+ & hail are possible, especially north & west of Boston. The Cape sees rain late. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/met…

#Boston in a Severe t-storm watch now until 10 p.m. Nearly all of New England at risk for storms with damaging wind gusts and hail. Already seeing a strong outflow and gusty conditions from a nearby storm. Be careful out there. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #vtwx

A look at the tropics with a disturbance having a decent shot to come together over the next couple of days. Slim chance for New England to be brushed by whatever does or doesn't materialize by Tuesday. #tropics #mawx #ctwx #riwx #mewx #vtwx #nhwx #boston The Boston Globe

Heat ramps up Sunday & Monday with climbing dew points. Will be feeling like the mid to upper 90s on Sunday. A few heat alerts have been issued, so take breaks and hydrate. #mawx #nhwx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #vtwx #boston #newengland

The Texas flooding is from converging moisture plumes with weak but persistent lift, resulting in 20"+ rainfall totals. The hilly terrain & shallow creeks played a role...terrible. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/07/met… #txwx #mawx #nhwx #ctwx #mewx #riwx #vtwx #boston #NewEngland

Elevated risk of flooding today across #Boston & Southern New England. Storms fire up between 2 & 8 pm. Heavy downpours with 1-2"/hr rainfall rates can lead to flooding. Strong wind gusts, too. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/08/met… #mawx #nhwx #vtwx #riwx #ctwx #mewx #newengland
