Boston. It's going to hit ninety-five degrees Tuesday.
So let's get practical. What do you actually put on your body for this?
There's a second alert layered on top of the heat. Massachusetts DEP issued an Air Quality Advisory for Tuesday due to elevated ozone levels.
The state opened fourteen DCR splash pads and pools early this week specifically for this event. If you've got kids and need somewhere to go, those are live right now.
Relief is coming, though the timing isn't pinned down yet. Strong thunderstorms are forecast to push through mid-week, and cooler temperatures follow behind them.
Boston. Ninety-five degrees and an air quality alert on the same day is not a casual Tuesday.
