BLUE HILL METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORY MILTON, MASSACHUSETTS ELEVATION 635 FEET, 10 MILES SSW OF BOSTON, MA WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2025 ALL TIMES ARE IN EASTERN STANDARD TIME (EST) SUNRISE: 0648E SUNSET:  1614E WARM FRONT DELIVERS MILD AIR AND CLOUDY SKIES TODAY AFTER OVERNIGHT RAIN SHOWERS…. Rain showers graced the area last night and into the early morning hours, totaling 0.22 inches. This rainfall puts us at 1.99″ for the month which is still well under normal November. After the showers moved through, we have been under mostly cloudy skies with brief appearances of sunlight. Temperatures have been well above normal with the passing of the warm front. Our “low” for the day is 17 degrees above the normal which surprisingly isn’t a record. (record 55F in 1979) Behind this front has also brought much more humid air as well, and so dew points have been in the low to mid 50’s for much of the day. The high temperature is only a few degrees above normal, however, with such a mild overnight period, it has felt more like a spring day than late November. There was a strong southerly flow during the overnight which has since shifted to the southwest. Winds are still pretty steady but not as gusty as yesterday. The average speed for the day so far is around 14mph. The peak gust for the day so far is 33mph, which occurred overnight at 3:22am. Visibility has been impacted by the early morning rain followed by hazy conditions. We started around 15 miles of visibility and improved to around 30 miles by the mid morning and afternoon. The maximum temperature so far today is 58F degrees, which is 12 degrees above the normal high of 46F. The minimum temperature since midnight is 48F degrees, which is 17 degrees above the normal low of 31F. ————————————————————– Today’s Observations: 7 A.M.
