This Is Expected To Be Boston's Hottest August. How Will We Prepare For More?

This month is expected to be the hottest August on record in Boston.

If climate projections hold, we're going to have to get used to more sweltering heat. One of the "key findings" by Climate Ready Boston in May was that, by 2030, there may be as many as 40 days over 90 degrees. By 2070, there could be as many as 90 days over 90: almost the whole summer.

How will Boston adapt to a climate that could look less like New England and more like Baltimore or Atlanta?
