In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we take a hike up Great Blue Hill in Boston and get more than a view of the city. A visit to the peak also reveals the story of a weather observatory that happens to be the site of the longest continuous daily weather record in the United States.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
