Record rains in New York and now warmer temperatures are coming.

October begins tomorrow here in Massachusetts and it's gonna get warm. An "Indian Summer" or more progressively speaking "Second Summer" is about to blanket the bay state.

An Indian summer is typically caused by a sharp shift in the jet stream from the south to the north. The warm weather may last anywhere from a few days to over a week and may happen multiple times before winter arrives for good. -farmersalmanac.com

There was one day, however, that the temperature in Massachusetts hit 107F! On August 2, 1975, the temperature recorded at New Bedford, MA was 107 degrees.
