Humid, Wet Summer Predicted for Maine, Massachusetts

In the last year, Maine has definitely seen its fair share of strange weather.

Even though we had a fairly normal fall, we ended up having a very strange winter.

Due in large part to El Nino, Maine really did not have a winter.  We had a lot of wild weather, but not a lot of snow.  Starting with the ‘Grinch’ storm in December and continuing through early March, we had several wind and rain storms.  In some cases, those storms did significant damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure.

It looks like those storms are behind us.

We are now seeing mild, spring-like weather across New England.

The arrival of spring has us thinking about what we can expect this summer.

The rest of the country

Much of the country will see the same weather that is being predicted for New England.  However, in the Pacific Northwest, the Farmer’s Almanac in calling for average summer temperatures and much dryer conditions.
