Hey New Hampshire! Looks like we’re in for a typical spring day this Saturday, April 5th—wet, cool, and breezy. It won’t be all rain all day, but we can definitely expect some showers here and there, so if you’re making plans, it’s a good idea to be prepared. Here’s everything you need to know to stay comfy and dry this weekend.
Here’s What’s Coming Your Way:
-
Rain Showers: Saturday morning will likely start off cloudy, but by midday, you’ll probably see some rain showers rolling in. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be an all-day downpour, but it will definitely be on-and-off throughout the afternoon. So while you might catch a break in the rain, don’t be surprised if it starts up again unexpectedly. Keep an umbrella or rain jacket handy to stay dry when those showers pop up.
-
Cool Temperatures: It’s definitely not “t-shirt weather” yet. Expect temperatures to be in the mid-40s to low 50s, so while it’s not freezing, it’s still a little chilly, especially when the rain hits. You’ll want to dress in layers—something light like a sweater or a jacket will keep you comfortable and warm enough. Don’t forget to layer up, because the wind and rain can make it feel a bit colder than it really is.
-
A Little Wind: Winds will be around 10 to 20 mph. Nothing too crazy, but enough to make things feel a bit colder, especially if you’re out in the rain. If you’re planning on using an umbrella, make sure it’s a sturdy one—those gusts might try to make it flip inside out!
How to Stay Dry and Comfortable:
-
Bring an Umbrella: We’re going to see a lot of on-again, off-again rain, so having an umbrella with you will be key. Alternatively, a rain jacket with a hood can do the job and keep your hands free if you’re out running errands or doing some shopping.
-
Layer Up: It’s spring, so layers are a must. With temps in the 40s and 50s, a light jacket or cozy sweater should be perfect. You can always take off a layer if you start to warm up during the dry spells, but it’s a good idea to have extra warmth on hand when the rain rolls in.
-
Wear Waterproof Shoes: If you’re planning on walking around or spending time outside, you’ll definitely want to keep your feet dry. Waterproof shoes or boots are the way to go—there’s nothing worse than soggy socks, right?
-
Check the Weather Throughout the Day: Spring weather is unpredictable, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast as the day goes on. You might get a break from the rain, or you might need to adjust your plans if the showers are coming down harder than expected.
The Takeaway:
Saturday’s weather is going to be classic spring—light rain showers, cool temperatures, and a little breeze. It won’t be the sunniest day, but it’s not the worst weather either. As long as you’ve got your umbrella, some layers, and waterproof shoes, you’ll be set to handle whatever the day brings. It’s not going to stop you from getting out and enjoying the weekend, but it’s definitely a day to stay prepared for the rain. Happy Saturday, New Hampshire—stay dry out there!
