Today's Memorial Day remembrances and ceremonies outside will be 20 to 25 degrees cooler than Sunday.
Although Sunday’s summer heat of 80s and lower 90s was an appreciated gift for some who’ve been aching for summer, Memorial Day remembrances and ceremonies outside will be much more enjoyable in the new, fresh air that has arrived for the holiday, with high temperatures some 20 to 25 degrees cooler than Sunday, topping out in the 60s east and 70s west.
Instead, New England’s biggest day-to-day changes in the weather this week correspond to changing wind direction, with cooler days when the wind travels across the cool ocean waters, where water temperatures are still in the 50s. Memorial Day Monday has been one such day, and Tuesday will be another.
Keep in mind rip currents are narrow, so if you find yourself caught in one while swimming at area beaches, swim parallel to shore, or along the shoreline, to break out of the pull to sea.
