Summer Weather Forecast For Braintree: See Daily Predictions

BRAINTREE, MA — With the official start of summer just weeks away, planning has begun for the residents of Braintree who look forward to the warmer weather and increased opportunity for outdoor fun.

Specific, long-term weather predictions can help with that planning, and the private weather company AccuWeather has released its 2021 summer weather forecast.

Daily forecasts for Braintree are listed until early August. After that, AccuWeather lists the historical average temperature for the rest of the summer.

AccuWeather did not predict any 90-degree scorchers in Braintree this summer. It looks like there will some rain and thunderstorms though. Eleven days between June 20 and Aug. 4 have rain in the forecast, and seven of them include thunderstorms. Fortunately, it looks like none of them will be during the Braintree Day celebration on June 26, according to the forecast.

Regionally, Accuweather isn't predicting a lot of hot days in the Northeast, but that doesn't mean you won't need your air conditioner. It's still going to be humid, according to the forecast.

With that humidity, thunderstorms are expected. AccuWeather’s long-range forecasters believe several rounds of strong storms could hit the region in June and July.

Nationally, AccuWeather predicts an eventful summer similar to the 2020 season, which brought record-breaking deaths and damage in the form of wildfires and hurricanes.

Although the number of tropical storms is predicted to be down from recent years, AccuWeather says tornadoes are likely to be on the rise from May until July.

Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather’s chief long-range forecaster, has said anywhere from 1,300 to 1,400 tornadoes could be reported by the end of the year, a slight increase from 2020.

“Across the Plains, we’re still going to be watching for the possibility of a flare-up of storms, mainly central areas on north during the month of May, June and early July,” Pastelok said in a statement.

These storms are expected to extend farther east than normal, Pastelok added, due to drought conditions that range from Montana to the Texas Panhandle.
