Boston weather - next week

Our trip to Boston is coming up in two days, and as the person in charge to pack all the stuffs I checked the weather.com for Boston next week weather. Unfortunately it doesn%26#39;t seem good. Rain, cloudy and rain.

As locals, what would be your best bet in term of weather forecast? I%26#39;ve watched CNN news just want to hear what it looks like in north eastern, also checked the weather.com.

While we%26#39;re in Boston we%26#39;ll rely on public transportations (probably not a cab, though). We%26#39;ll be staying about 2 blocks from the closest T. What would be our option to get from point A to B without getting drenched? There will be 2 small kids in 2 strollers with us. :)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Also check thebostonchannel.com and wbz.com. Two of our local tv stations. Looks like rain on Monday and cooler than usual temperatures. Layers and umbrellas recommended.

Boston weather - next week

I wouldn%26#39;t over worry about the weather. Can%26#39;t do much about it, anyway. So how do you deal with it if we do have rain? The best thing is a nylon rain jacket with a hood. If it%26#39;s cold, you can always put on a sweater or sweatshirt underneath. Umbrellas can be useful if it%26#39;s not very windy outside. Personally, I don%26#39;t like hoods, so I have a jacket and a hat, supplemented with a small folding cheapie umbrella. Do make sure you have some thick-soled shoes that can handle walking through puddles, which there are many of in Boston.

The carriage, I%26#39;m afraid, you%26#39;ll have to figure out yourself. I%26#39;ve seen some with covers or attached little umbrellas, but I assume you either have these or not. Wish I could be more help on this.

AlanM %26amp; MahJ, thanks for your replies. I always find some useful tips. I think I%26#39;d better go with stroller and raincover.

umbrellas and jackets. Quite cold and wet today... tht%26#39;s the forcast for the week. (Groan).... good for the gardens, though! Not a constant rain though, like off and on. This morning it was okay for walking but it was cold.. I needed a sweatshirt and a mid-weight coat over it.

Thanks, Queenslace.

I%26#39;m a light packer, but due to the weather... got to add one more suitcase for rain stuffs (aarrgghhh....). I hope the rain won%26#39;t be the downpour ones... (cringe..)

weather.com ten-day forecast is the only thing I pay attention to - it really doesn%26#39;t look all that bad this week in Boston. they predict 60% chance of rain on Saturday, but it%26#39;s virtually impossible 7 days in advance. yes, you will see it rain in Boston when you are here but it won%26#39;t be raining all the time. probably. :-)

it shouldn%26#39;t require a lot of extra luggage space. you can get cheap travel umbrellas here, in just about any drugstore. I personally wear a Marmot rain jacket, which I love, but you can get cheap plastic ponchos (not sure where exactly).

thanks Thomas!

I%26#39;m almost set. Everyone is in bed already, except me.. the packer. We%26#39;re travelling with 2 small kids along with their loveys, boots, etc. :) We%26#39;ll be in Boston in less than 24 hours.. Woohoo!!

Best of luck during your trip! We gave you good itinerary%26#39;s in the past. Monday should be rainy, so try and do the Children%26#39;s Museum that day, lol. Just take the T to south station, then ask for the bus to the museum, bus #7. If you have computer access, feel free to come back and ask any questions you have. Enjoy and safe travels.

egads, I just checked the 10-day forecast for Boston and it%26#39;s looking a bit more bleak. I guess I won%26#39;t have to worry about my lawn drying up while I%26#39;m in Sedona...

in anycase, there are lots of fun things to do in the rain in Boston.

thanks, Will007!

I printed out the itinerary that everyone suggested in the past. I really appreciate your tips. The T-line is absolutely a big help. We might change a bit our schedule due to weather.We%26#39;re in Denver right now and our plane has been changed into another aircraft that is not even here yet... so, not sure how long we have to wait :(
