Boston blues: It rained on a record 21 days in April
T.J. and Carolanne Parks of New Orleans wear rain gear at Fenway Park in Boston on Friday. By Matthew Cappucci May 1 at 3:35 PM If you live in Boston and are sick of those “April showers” everyone rhymes about, you’re not alone. Boston saw more rainy days in April than any month on record at Boston Logan International Airport.
It rained every day during the week of April 18-24, including a record 2.3 inches on April 22. Another storm brought 1.4 inches the night of the April 26 into April 27 — part of the same weather system that lashed the Mid-Atlantic with tornadoes, and even slung tennis ball-size hail at parts of Massachusetts. Hail that large has never fallen in the Bay State earlier than June.
How was it warm if the sun was seemingly always blocked by rain showers? Simple: The rain came in when the sun was down.
