Manchester Weather: Sunshine, Crisp Nights, and Below-Normal Rainfall Through Mid-September
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Southern New Hampshire is heading into a longer dry stretch this week, with sunny skies and crisp fall nights expected across the region, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend Rain Tapers Off
Showers early Sunday gave way to clearing skies by afternoon, with highs reaching the mid-60s. Overnight, temperatures dipped into the upper 40s, ushering in a refreshing fall-like feel across the city.
Sunny Week Ahead
Starting Monday, Manchester will enjoy sunshine and highs near 74°F as high pressure builds across New England. The dry pattern is expected to dominate through much of the week, keeping skies clear and commutes along I-93 and Route 101 smooth.
Concerns Over Dry Conditions
While the pleasant weather brings comfort, NOAA’s outlook shows below-normal rainfall across much of the Northeast into mid-September. Farmers and gardeners may begin to see signs of stress on crops and lawns if the pattern holds.
Fire danger could also rise later in the week if humidity levels drop, leaving communities urged to remain cautious with outdoor burning and to conserve water.
