After a few cold and rainy weeks, it looks like summer is finally arriving in Boston.

Temperatures hit 90 degrees in Boston and Hartford, Conn. for the first time this year on Wednesday afternoon, according to National Weather Service Boston. This heat wave comes earlier than usual: On average, temps in the two cities don’t reach 90 degrees until at least the end of May.

According to the National Weather Service, Thursday will be even hotter, with temps in Boston at a high of 92 degrees. Friday’s temperatures are expected to drop to the low-80s, with cooler weather on the forecast this weekend.
