New Hampshire Sees a Shift Towards Spring-Like Temperatures
New Hampshire residents are experiencing a noticeable warming trend, with temperatures expected to climb into the 50s on Sunday and even higher in the early part of next week. This shift marks a change as the clocks have moved forward, resulting in later sunsets – around 6:44 PM this evening – and increasing daylight hours. By mid-April, sunrise will be an hour earlier and sunset an hour later.
Mild Temperatures and Shifting Daylight
Current temperatures across the state are largely above freezing, with readings ranging from 38 degrees in Concord to 45 degrees in Milford, and Nashua. This represents approximately ten, and potentially even twenty, degrees above the average for this time in March. The milder air is being carried in by winds from the west, following the passage of a frontal boundary.
Morning showers are expected to give way to sunny breaks on Sunday afternoon, with highs reaching the mid-50s in many areas, potentially nearing 60 in Nashua. Overnight lows will be in the 30s, with the possibility of fog forming over snow-covered areas.
Looking Ahead: 60s on the Horizon
Monday promises full sunshine and temperatures surging into the low 60s across many communities, accompanied by breezy southwest winds. Tuesday will see even warmer conditions, with temperatures reaching the mid-60s. However, a change is on the way, as rain showers are anticipated to move in later on Wednesday and continue into Thursday, bringing temperatures back down into the 40s by Friday.
Current Conditions as of Sunday Morning
- Temperatures ranging from 38°F in Concord to 45°F in Milford and Nashua.
