New England's Climate

New England's weather and climate are much-discussed topics because they're so unpredictable.

 

New England's climate is fairly straightfoward, and its seasons are distinct, each with its delights:

Spring
Coming late in April or, more commonly, in May, and staying briefly into June, spring can be a delight or a disappointment. More...

Summer
By mid-June, summer is well established and despite the region's northerly and coastal location, it can be pretty hot and sometimes quite humid in July and August. More...

Autumn (Fall)
Autumn (September and October) is undoubtedly New England's glory and its finest season, and if you have a choice of vacation times this is the one to pick. More...

Foliage Season
People travel from far continents to enjoy the natural spectacle of blazing New England fall foliage. It's worth the trip. More...

Indian Summer
After chilly weather in October, there may be a short period of warm weather known as "Indian summer" in late October or November. More...

Winter
Winter, as they say, depends: the first snow flurries usually come in November in the north, mid-December in the south. January, February and March are cold and snowy. More...

Mid-Winter Thaw
If New Englanders are lucky, they get a break, with a few spring-like days in January or early February. More...

Mount Washington Weather
None of the normal information about New England's climate applies to New Hampshire's Mount Washington, said to have the worst, most extreme weather in all the USA. More...
