Nearly 20 beaches were closed in Massachusetts on Sunday, the majority due to high bacteria levels in the water.According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health interactive beach water quality dashboard, which provides water quality testing results for the current beach season, 15 of the 19 beaches closed are due to “Bacterial exceedance.” Two others are listed as closed Sunday due to harmful cyanobacteria bloom, and the last two closure reasons are listed as “other,” including Walden Pond in Concord, which is closed due to construction.Here’s the full list of the beaches closed in Mass. on Sunday:Andover – Pomps PondAshby – Damon Pond Beach (DCR)Brewster – Upper Mill PondConcord – Walden Pond – Main (DCR)Danvers – Sandy Beach (Danvers)Lynn – Kings (DCR)ManchesterMagnoliaTuck’s PointMarlborough – Henry F Collins BeachNatick – Cochituate State Park Beach (DCR)Rockport – Long BeachSalemChildren’s Island – BackChildren’s Island – WallyOcean AvenueSaugus – Peckham Pond at Camp Nihan (DCR)Templeton Beamans Pond – Campground (DCR)Beamans Pond – Day Use (DCR)West Tisbury – Seth’s PondWinchester – Shannon Beach at Upper Mystic (DCR)If a beach is closed, officials say you should not swim or enter the water at that location to avoid risk of illness.At Shannon Beach in Winchester, however, beachgoers ignored the posted warnings on Sunday, choosing to swim in the water anyway on a warm, sunny day in the Bay State.Warning signs at the beach read, “No swimming: Swimming may cause illness. Water contains elevated bacteria.”The high bacteria levels It can come from things like storm water, failing septic systems, sewer issues, and wildlife and pet waste.The Department of Public Health is reminding everyone that swimming in unsafe water can make you ill, causing gastrointestinal, respiratory, eye, ear, and flu-like systems, as well as rashes and itching.The beaches cannot reopen until bacteria levels are back in a safe range.

We’re starting Saturday off on a familiar note. A few showers will speed through this morning. Nothing appears too heavy and/or persistent, but they will drag into the late morning hours. The afternoon will dry out although we’re not going right back to sun. That too will lag for a few hours. Hopefully, we’ll see some rays by mid-afternoon. Surprisingly, the warmth is still with us. Highs will make it into the mid and upper 70s, with an increase in humidity.Tomorrow dawns bright and warm. We’re heading for the mid-80s with a less humid airmass. Winds will be west, so there’s no sea breeze, making this an excellent beach day.Heat returns by early next week. Highs will climb to 90 by Tuesday as we watch a cold front slice through New England. This could touch off a few strong thunderstorms later in the afternoon, so keep your eyes to the skies. This is the perfect setup for the remainder of the week, however. Outside of another storm threat Thursday, we sail into the holiday weekend with plenty of sun and warm summer temps.Enjoy the weekend and be safe!
