Drizzle Down Memory Lane: A Brief History of Boston's Weekend Woes
It all started innocently enough. A sprinkle here, a downpour there. But then, something shifted in the weather patterns (or maybe Poseidon just got grumpy). News outlets started using phrases like "serial soaker Saturdays" and "liquid leisure time". Picnics became puddle-hopping adventures, and baseball games morphed into synchronized swimming exhibitions (not really, but it probably felt that way to some).

Rain, Rain, Go Away... But Seriously, Go Away
Now, before you start composing a strongly worded letter to the weatherman, let's acknowledge the upside of all this precipitation. The flowers are happy (maybe a little too happy), the reservoirs are full, and there's a lower risk of dust bunnies taking over your apartment. But come on, enough is enough! We just want to enjoy a weekend barbecue without needing an inflatable raft!

So, How Many Saturdays Has it Rained? The Burning Question
Here's the tricky part. There's no central database of "rainy Saturdays in Boston" (although, that's a brilliant startup idea, someone get on that!). The answer depends on what qualifies as "rain." Are we talking a misty morning drizzle or a full-on Noah's Ark-worthy deluge?
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
News reports suggest that in recent months, a significant portion of Saturdays have sported some level of rain. Some articles say nearly every weekend since April has seen measurable precipitation, while others focus on the summer months.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.

The takeaway? It's rained...a lot. Like, a whole lot.
You Said "Measurable Precipitation?" Science Steps In
For the record, in meteorological terms, "measurable" means at least 0.01 inches of rain. So, we're not talking about a rogue rogue tear from a rogue cloud here.
Facing the Future: Forecasting Fun or Frown?
Predicting the future of Boston's Saturdays is a tricky business. Will we finally get a streak of sunshine-filled weekends? Or will we need to invest in waterproof sneakers and inflatable arm floaties?
Only time (and the ever-changing weather patterns) will tell. But one thing's for sure: Boston's love affair with rainy Saturdays is a story that will continue to unfold.
