Where to go
1. Nantucket, Massachusetts
Nantucket in Massachusetts is one of the clearer matches for dry weekends on this weekend’s board — a 71°F high and 64°F low with a dry outlook with little to no rain.
What makes Nantucket useful isn’t hype; it’s timing. For 2026-09-06 – 2026-09-13, it reads like a place where you can help plan a short getaway around the cleanest rain totals and still have a backup café if a cloud shows up.
Bottom line for Nantucket: it’s on this list because it supports current recommendations for the cleanest rain totals, not because it always trends on social. That’s the difference between a real weather guide and a postcard.
Things to do
- Nantucket Whaling Museum (4.7): Museum
- Sandbar at Jetties Beach Bar & Restaurant (4.3): Bar & grill
- Cisco Brewers (4.4): Brewery
2. Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Rank 2 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Martha's Vineyard (Massachusetts) lands near 72°F with a dry outlook with little to no rain, which is exactly the band people want for the cleanest rain totals.
This is the kind of beach stop you discover when you stop browsing generic guides and start asking for weather-perfect weekends. You can actually plan a trip around outdoor time here without pretending the sky will cooperate out of kindness.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Martha's Vineyard’s 72°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.
Things to do
- Aquinnah Cliffs Overlook (4.8): Scenic spot
- Massasoit State Park (4.6): State park
- Freetown-Fall River State Forest (4.5): State park
