Why 1st ‘extreme’ Mass. #HeatWave of 2026 may be extra dangerous — and for who
By Irene Rotondo
Jun. 29, 2026, 4:05 p.m."A new heat wave alert for Massachusetts landed Monday, with officials warning of 'dangerously hot conditions' and a #HeatIndex up to 111 degrees.
"An 'extreme heat watch' is in effect for nearly the entire state from Wednesday morning through Saturday evening, according to the National Weather Service. This will vastly increase chances both for heat-related illnesses as well as troublesome weather like thunderstorms, forecasters warn.
"Temperatures could reach up to 99 degrees in Boston on Wednesday during the day, with Worcester’s high at 97 and Springfield at a whopping 100. At night, they will drop just to the mid-70s, then creep back up to a high of 102 degrees on Thursday in Boston and Worcester and 104 in Springfield.
"Friday is expected to again hit 102 degrees in Boston, with nighttime temperatures at 79. On Saturday — the 4th of July holiday — temperatures will be 97 degrees in Boston and Springfield and 95 in Worcester. Forecasters warn there could be chances for thunderstorms across the state in the evening.
Being prepared
"Though temperatures climbed above 90 degrees in Massachusetts on multiple days in May and June, the impending heat wave will be the most hot and humid weather the state has had had since last year.
"The first heat wave of the season is often the worst for people’s health, according to data collected by state officials on heat-related illnesses and hospital visits, as residents’ bodies adjust to the temperature change.
"Additionally, emergency room visits and heat-related illnesses rise when temperatures hit 85 degrees or higher for at least three consecutive days — the threshold the state uses for unhealthy heat alerts.
"Boston officials urge residents to stay hydrated, use air conditioning, limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day and check on neighbors. Children and pets cannot be left in vehicles at any time.
"City residents can call 311 or visit the city’s heat website to find one of the 16 cooling centers at the Boston Centers for Youth & Families — locations turned into cooling centers for heat emergencies — public pools and libraries for relief.
A first test for Boston
"A spokesperson for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office said on Monday that the city was still 'working through a determination' on its other cooling center locations and hours for the upcoming heatwave.
"The heat wave will also be the first major test of Boston’s new worker heat-protection ordinance, which took effect this year and is believed to be among the first local laws of its kind in the country.
"Under the law, city departments and qualifying contractors performing city work are required to maintain heat illness prevention plans designed to reduce heat-related injuries and deaths — especially those caused by fatigue, dizziness and dehydration.
"Under the ordinance, employers must provide protections including water, shade and rest breaks beginning at 80 degrees, with additional 'high heat' measures required once temperatures reach 90 degrees. Covered employers must also establish emergency response procedures, train workers on heat illness risks and designate a heat safety coordinator.
"The ordinance was passed by the Boston City Council and signed by Mayor #MichelleWu last year as experts projected more frequent and intense heat waves in coming decades. Boston officials previously estimated the number of days above 90 degrees, annually, could increase from a historic average of about 10 to as many as 46 by the 2070s.
Who is most at-risk?"Those over the age of 65, children and infants are more at risk for severe illness, with children facing unique dangers during the prolonged heat events. Due to children’s smaller body size and reduced ability to sweat, they will heat up more quickly than adults and rely on adults to ensure their safety.
"Consistent periods of time where daytime temperatures exceed 90 degrees and nighttime temperatures remain above 78 degrees are considered 'extreme heat' for young children, the impacts of which can be long-lasting.
"People with chronic medical conditions, #disabilities, limited mobility, who are pregnant, experiencing homelessness, outdoor workers and residents without access to air conditioning are also at high risk. People in Black, brown and other communities of color may also face disproportionate impacts because of longstanding inequities in the environment and infrastructure, according to the state.
"Outdoor workers are among the groups considered especially vulnerable during extreme heat events. State health data showed 707 emergency room visits and 87 hospitalizations related to heat stress in Massachusetts in 2022, the most recent year available."

Boston election Nov. 4 2025: District 9 endorsements
Tomorrow is a municipal election in the city of Boston. Municipal elections matter. If you live in Boston you should be voting in every primary, every preliminary election, every election, every year.
Here are my endorsements for tomorrow’s election in District 9 and city-wide.
Michelle Wu is running unopposed, so whether you vote for her doesn’t “matter” in the sense that it will not influence the outcome of the race. For that, I hope you voted in the preliminary election in September! In any case, you should vote for her anyway to let her know you support her. She has been a good mayor and she deserves your support.
In the District 9 City Council race, you should vote for Liz Breadon. Her opponent, Pilar Ortiz, is both decent and competent, and I look forward to voting for her in the future when she is the best candidate on the ballot, but as for this year, Liz is doing a good job and has been on the Council long enough to form important experience, connections, and alliances that Pilar doesn’t have. A little bit of inside baseball: a lot of people in Pilar’s orbit, including Mayor Wu whose administration she worked in, told her this was not the time for her to run, but for some reason that is frankly inexplicable to me, she didn’t listen.
In the at-large City Council race, I am voting for Henry Santana, Marvin Mathelier, Ruthzee Louijeune, and Julia Mejia. Henry, Ruthzee, and Julia are all incumbents who have proven themselves decent and competent. Erin Murphy and Frank Baker are Trump-supporting chuds whom I wouldn’t vote for under any circumstances. I have nothing in particular against Will Onuoha or Alexandra Valdez—I think they’d probably do fine—but Mathelier has been endorsed by both Liz and Ruthzee, and I trust them and want them to have the allies they want on the Council to help them continue to make progress on their objectives, which I support.
By the way, it’s not a coincidence that none of the people I’m endorsing are white men.

Boston election Nov. 4 2025: District 9 endorsements
Tomorrow is a municipal election in the city of Boston. Municipal elections matter. If you live in Boston you should be voting in every primary, every preliminary election, every election, every year.
Here are my endorsements for tomorrow’s election in District 9 and city-wide.
Michelle Wu is running unopposed, so whether you vote for her doesn’t “matter” in the sense that it will not influence the outcome of the race. For that, I hope you voted in the preliminary election in September! In any case, you should vote for her anyway to let her know you support her. She has been a good mayor and she deserves your support.

It was yuuuge! Saw several helicopters and one drone flying overhead.
The MC had good energy. The music was some good, some mediocre, the speakers were "what you would expect at an event like this". There was a heckler who tried to interrupt #MichelleWu's speech. Michelle was very professional about it and completely ignored the guy, did not get distracted, made sure that she was right in the microphone so that her remarks were louder. She said various dramatic things that we were all supposed cheer after and so she paused at the right time and we cheered appropriately. So the heckler did not achieve his goals. The MC then talked about how "we don't all agree in this movement and that's okay, but we need to all be in the movement. We need to not be divided." Which was good and off-the-cuff and well spoken. Which he did a couple of other times on different topics.

Sitting in the shade, wearing my favorite #USDS T shirt, waiting for the #AllstonBrightonParade to pass by. Hoping for a selfie with #MichelleWu.

I was so happy to hear that #MichelleWu would be running on the ballot unopposed in November that I let out a great big Wu-hoo!
I'm very much in favor of incumbents defending their positions against worthy challengers, but (a) Wu already did that in the preliminary election and (b) IMO there were no worthy challengers this year. I'd rather see her running unopposed then running against someone shitty.

Mayor Wu: The Trump administration doesn’t deal in reason, logic, and law. It’s about retaliation, the threat, and outright disdain for the values of this Country. And when a Community stands up for morals, truth, and science…they become a target. (60-seconds)
Michelle Wu, Mayor of Boston - Sept 3, 2025 on *WBUR's Morning Edition*. YouTube link is in the comments.

'Boston’s mayor #MichelleWu has hit back sharply at the Trump administration’s legal threats over sanctuary city immigration policies, declaring that “Boston will not back down”.
“The US attorney general asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures. Unlike the #Trump administration, #Boston follows the law. And Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.”

@mayorwu.boston.gov's speech was incredibly inspiring, and her message was exactly what Boston's immigrant community needed to hear. A truly powerful display of leadership against oppression, as Boston always stands up for what is right! #MichelleWu #ImmigrantRights #Boston #Massachusetts #USPol

#MichelleWu has a reputation for delivering quality constituent services?!?
Who woulda thunk?
Not me 🤷🏻♂️
Pro-top: Bostonian #republicanism was - and has always been - radical in thought, creed and deed.
