BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2025) — Boca Raton stays mostly sunny today with a brief midday shower chance, then winds ramp up tonight and turn noticeably breezy into Monday.
Today’s Weather – Sunday, December 21, 2025
Boca Raton starts the day on the quiet side, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 80 — the kind of warm December afternoon that feels better in the shade than it does in the direct sun, especially along open stretches like the I-95 corridor or out by the Intracoastal where there’s not much blocking the breeze once it gets going.
The main thing to watch today is a 30 percent chance of showers, with the best window between noon and 2 p.m. It’s not an all-day washout setup, and it’s not framed as a stormy day. It’s more of a “keep an eye on the sky around lunch” situation. If you’re planning to be out on Glades Road around midday, or heading west toward Lyons Road and the neighborhoods farther from the coast, it’s the kind of timing where a quick shower can sneak in and be gone before you’ve fully adjusted your plans.
Wind will be light early, then starts to organize in the morning. The forecast calls for light and variable wind becoming northeast 5 to 10 mph as the day gets underway. That’s enough to take the edge off the warmth if you’re near the beaches, and you’ll probably notice it most when you’re out in wide-open areas — beach accesses, along the Intracoastal, or driving the more exposed stretches of roadway.
Tonight brings a subtle shift. Skies turn partly cloudy and the chance of rain tapers, but it doesn’t drop completely to zero right away. The forecast shows a 20 percent chance of showers before 9 p.m. After that, it’s more about the breeze and the temperature dropping into a comfortable range. The low is expected to land around 70.
The northeast wind also steps up after dark. Tonight’s forecast calls for a northeast wind 10 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. If you’re near the coast — or if you’re in a spot where wind funnels through open streets — it’s the kind of night where you’ll hear it, even if it’s not howling. Patio furniture that’s light, holiday décor that’s loosely secured, that sort of thing, is worth a quick check before you turn in.
Overall, today is a mostly sunny, warm Boca day with a small, well-timed rain chance midday. Then the bigger theme starts to settle in: increasing winds tonight and into the start of the workweek.
