Did you ever hear about the weather station that hopped around Boston like a restless sparrow? The Charles River Weather Station, right here, has a surprisingly nomadic past. It wasn’t always by the tranquil Charles. Its story is a journey across Boston’s rooftops and landmarks. In the early 1930s, imagine the Charles River Weather Station perched atop the old Post Office building, a dizzying 337 feet above the bustling streets. It diligently recorded temperature, precipitation, and wind. But this wasn’t its first home. Or its last. The Charles River Weather Station has had twelve different locations. From a window shelter in the Old State House to its current spot at Logan International Airport. Each move reflects the changing face of Boston and the evolving science of meteorology.
