Old Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Chilly And Wet Fall For Maine

As summer in Maine hits the halfway point, its fair to say it's already been another hot one.

Temperatures in late-June and throughout July have been much higher than historical norms and there doesn't seem to a huge change coming for August.

Over the last few years, the heat and humidity has carried from July and August into September and a little bit of October leaving fall fanatics annoyed that activities like apple picking are being done in 70 degree weather.

But if you believe in the Old Farmer's Almanac and their weather predictions, the summer extension won't be happening this year.

Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts Below-Average Temperatures and Lots of Rain For Maine

The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts lots of clouds and above-average rainfall for the fall this year in Maine. The significant amount of rainfall is only predicted for Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont when it comes to New England.

The Old Farmer's Almanac also predicts cooler-than-average temperatures throughout the fall. Rather than upper-50's in October, expect low-50's for daytime highs and even cooler temperatures in the evening.

The Rest of New England Will Stay Dry Throughout The Fall

While Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont see plenty of precipitation, the rest of New England should stay dry.

The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts that Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut will also see below-average temperatures but not nearly as cool as Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont throughout the fall.
