Of all the things voters have to worry about on Election Day, bad weather won’t be one for Massachusetts.

Forecasters predict 5 November 2024 will be the warmest election day on record in the Commonwealth since the turn of the millennium, said Matthew Belk of National Meteorological Service.

Boston and Springfield are expected to reach a high of 72 degrees on Tuesday, while Worcester should warm to 69 degrees. As of noon, it was 70 degrees in Boston, according to the Weather Service website.

It hasn’t been this hot on an election day in Massachusetts in the past seven election cycles since former President Barack Obama first won on Nov. 4, 2008.

It was 66 degrees in Boston that day, with a low of 45 and no rain, Belk said.

The coldest day for voters queuing at the polls since 2000 was November 6, 2012, with a high of 41 degrees and a low of 31 degrees. The citizens of the Bay State also trembled during the last election of 2020, which was only easy. warmer at 43 degrees and a low of 32.

It was in the mid-50s in 2000, 2004 and 2016, the mildest Massachusetts election days in the last 24 years.

That said, while you won’t need a hat or gloves this year, Tuesday’s temperature isn’t the warmest for the first week of November in Massachusetts.

According to Belk, the hottest Nov. 5 since 1872 — the most distant weather recorded by the National Weather Service in Boston — was 78 degrees in 1987, a non-presidential election year. The hottest day in the first week of November was set during another off year on November 2, 1950 at 83 degrees.

Tuesday’s heat precedes an even warmer day expected Wednesday as more “unseasonable” temperatures approach and the possibility of thermometers reaching 80.

With the lack of rain, forecasters say Massachusetts remains at high risk of fire.

The state is under a special weather statement on Tuesday warning of increased fire risk due to “prolonged dry weather” and “very dry terrain”.

Brush fires have jumped in Massachusetts in October, with more than 200 reported last month. The average number is 15, according to the Fire Department.
