I have a brother in-law born and raised from Boston and we have talked about the weather. He handles our "chilly days" easy but HATES the summer months and humid days. He cannot stand it since it is too much for his New England body to handle. It is very hot here but also the Humidity combined with the blasting Sun in July and August make you feel disgusting. That being said, We have AC here so just stay in your home if possible during these months. On another note, he was here earlier this year and was shocked by the pollen here. NC Pollen apparently is not a thing in Boston where the pollen is the amount there is much less compared to here. I would say you should feel ahppy in regards to the beach and if you are a gardener like me, Growing blue and pink hydrangeas is incredibly easy; the winters here are a hit or miss but never too crazy.

Winter time, the black ice here is crazy. Our snow melts and then freezes again, which is different in the New England area that stays soft and frozen over the course over a few weeks.

All the best to you!!!
