New England Heat Returns This Week After Spring Respite

In the rhythm of late May, New England paused briefly on Monday as temperatures retreated from weeks of unusual warmth, offering a rare cool interlude before the heat reasserts itself. The region stands at a familiar seasonal crossroads — a single mild day nestled between the memory of summer-like excess and the promise of its swift return. By Wednesday, temperatures pushing toward 90 degrees will collide with a Canadian cold front, producing storms that may finally usher in the gentler spring conditions long overdue for the holiday weekend.
