Heat waves have been the story of the summer in Massachusetts, and it's not letting up anytime soon with temperatures expected to hit the mid-90s this week. We expect high temperatures between 90 to 95 degrees through at least Wednesday and perhaps for one final day on Thursday.

It’s frankly pretty remarkable when I look at the first nine days of August and realize that the temperature has been 65 or cooler at night the entire time and only one day has reached the 80s. Before Sunday, every day this month featured below-average temperatures — close to 5 degrees below normal.
