Massachusetts is known for cold winters and moderately
warm summers. Temperatures in the Berkshires are cooler year round.
The coast of Massachusetts experiences the warmest temperatures while
in the summer sea breezes keep coastal areas cooler than interior areas.

highlands and western hills are also normally colder and snowier than

of fine days followed by a few wet days, which averages out to approximately
50% clear, 25% wet and 25% overcast. |
