South Shore weather in numbers
measured normals and 10 years of recorded weatherSouth Shore swings 57°F across the year, from 78°F highs in July to 21°F lows in January, and May is usually the wettest month in a year that brings about 43 in of precipitation. Over 10 years of recorded weather it averages 74 days a year at 77°F or above, 18 of them at 86°F or above, 102 frost nights, and rain on 133 days.
Day counts are from the ERA5 reanalysis for South Shore’s grid square, 2016 to 2025, counted the same way for every city so the numbers compare. A reanalysis square is an area, not a weather station, so it is good for counting days and not for a single day’s record.

Where the models disagree
temperature and rain, judged separatelyThe models often agree on temperature and still split on rain, and rain is usually what decides whether a plan survives. A wide rain range means the shower is genuinely uncertain, not that the forecast is wrong.
