==Weather and Climate in Boston==

There's a local saying about the weather in Boston that goes, "'''If you don't like the weather in Boston... wait five minutes.'''" 

This means that the weather can frequently change - maybe not in five minutes, but within a single day the weather can swing nearly 15°C (20-25°F) hotter or colder than the day before. For this reason, '''most Bostonians decide to wear clothing in layers''' - and chose to remove layers as needed when the day is warmer than they expected. 

The most mild weather that a tourist visiting the city would enjoy is during late spring (May through early June) and mid-autumn (September through October). 

Summers are typically warm, with a maximum about temperature of 33°C (95°F). Late July and August are the hottest time, usually. The heat may feel hotter than the thermometer though, as the air is usually very humid in the summer. 

Winters are usually unpleasant, with January and early February being the coldest part of it. They are cold, windy, and snowy, with minimum temperatures going down to nearly -10°C (15°F) sometimes. Having a good pair of waterproof, insulated boots, as well as a winter jacket, gloves, scarf, and winter hat that covers your ears is important in order to stay warm while outside.
