Rhode Island Weather for May 21, 2026

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, Rhode Island is forecast to see a noticeable cooldown after yesterday’s heat, with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s°F and lows dropping into the mid-to-upper 40s°F overnight.

Morning: Skies start mostly cloudy with temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s°F. North or north-northeast winds around 5-10 mph will keep it feeling cooler and a bit damp early, with a chance of sprinkles or light showers possible, especially before midday.

Afternoon: Highs reach the mid-to-upper 60s°F (around 64-68°F) under mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies. Winds stay light to moderate from the north. It will feel much more seasonal and comfortable compared to the recent 90s — good for being outdoors but with a slight chance of a stray shower.

Evening: Temperatures fall into the upper 40s to low 50s°F as the sun sets around 8 PM. Skies become partly cloudy with winds lightening. Mostly dry conditions overnight after any early evening chances fade.

Overall letter grade: B

A refreshing break from the heat with comfortable daytime temps and low humidity — nice for most activities after the recent warmth. Minor deductions for the persistent clouds and small shower risk, plus the sharper drop in temps that might catch some off guard. Forecasts can still shift slightly, so check a local source closer to the day.
