Climate

Boston has a continental climate with some maritime influence, the city lies within the transition zone from a humid subtropical climate to a humid continental climate; although the suburbs north and west of the city are significantly colder in winter. Summers are typically warm to hot, rainy, and humid, while winters oscillate between periods of cold rain and snow, with cold temperatures. Spring and fall are usually mild, with varying conditions dependent on wind direction and jet stream positioning. Prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore minimize the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The hottest month is July, with a mean temperature of 73.4 °F (23.0 °C). The coldest month is January, with a mean of 29.0 °F (−1.7 °C). Periods exceeding 90 °F (32 °C) in summer and below freezing in winter are not uncommon but rarely extended, with about 13 and 25 days per year seeing each, respectively.

Boston's coastal location on the North Atlantic moderates its temperature, but makes the city very prone to Nor'easter weather systems that can produce much snow and rain. The city averages 43.8 inches (1,110 mm) of precipitation a year, with 43.8 inches (111 cm) of snowfall per season. Snowfall increases dramatically as one goes inland away from the city (especially north and west of the city)—away from the moderating influence of the ocean. Most snowfall occurs from December through March, as most years see no measurable snow in April and November, and snow is rare in May and October. There is also high year-to-year variability in snowfall; for instance, the winter of 2011–12 saw only 9.3 in (23.6 cm) of accumulating snow, but the previous winter, the corresponding figure was 81.0 in (2.06 m).

Fog is fairly common, particularly in spring and early summer, and the occasional tropical storm or hurricane can threaten the region, especially in late summer and early autumn. Due to its situation along the North Atlantic, the city often receives sea breezes, especially in the late spring, when water temperatures are still quite cold and temperatures at the coast can be more than 20 °F (11 °C) colder than a few miles inland, sometimes dropping by that amount near midday. Thunderstorms occur from May to September, that are occasionally severe with large hail, damaging winds and heavy downpours. Although downtown Boston has never been struck by a violent tornado, the city itself has experienced many tornado warnings. Damaging storms are more common to areas north, west, and northwest of the city. Boston has a relatively sunny climate for a coastal city at its latitude, averaging over 2,600 hours of sunshine per annum.

Vampires of the City

In most ways, Boston is the ideal Camarilla city. Its prince, Quintin King III has ruled unchallenged for over 200 years. He is supported by a strong brood of childer who also serve as his enforcers and private security while overseeing portions of Boston for their sire and liege. Likewise the Primogen of Boston have all lived in the city for at least 150 years and all are true elders. To the minds of newcomers then, it is something of a surprise to discover that the Kindred court of Boston strongly supports its prince and works together to keep the city stable and peaceful. While this would be an achievement in nearly any New World domain, it is more so in Boston for the fact that Quintin King is a Malkavian and many of his clan members reside in or regularly visit the city. This is not to say that Boston is without its problems, for the growing influence of the Giovanni Clan of vampires in Boston places ever more pressure on the seemingly stable brow of the city's mad prince. Worse, the Sabbat has long coveted Boston and has worked for almost a century to destabilize the city long enough to topple the current regime and replace it with one of their own.
