ThnxWhat is the weather like in Maine?
Here are the descriptions of the weather in Maine during the 4 seasons.



Summer is usually pleasantly warm. This is the average, but the average is made up of several extremes. Usually the daily high for July averages in the mid 70s, but several days are humid and in the 80's. Once in a while, Maine will feel days in the 90's. Variety is the key when it somes to summer weather because there will also be days in the 60s and an occasional day in the 50s.



Fall brings temperatures that are cooling down considerably. Fall folliage season starts right around the first of October. Frost can hit before the end of the month because temperatures average at least ten degrees colder than July. October nights can be just plain cold. By the end of October, the average temperature low is right around freezing.



Winter is cold and snowy, and the wind can blow. Sheltered valleys don't see much of the wind, but can experience temperature extremes lower than that of uplands. . If it is 10 below zero farenheit on the upper slopes of the valley, it might be 20 or even 25 below down in the river bottom. These extreme differences occur during still nights when there is no wind to mix up the air masses.



Spring is a time where the temperatures start to rise and that brings Maine's fifth season, MUD season. Mud season can sometimes begin in March and last until May. The mud can get so deep on back roads that vehicles cannot travel the roads!



Snowfall totals range between 80 and 140 inches in typical years with the average being about 105 inches. The permanent snow cover lasts from November or December into April. Rarely is the ground completely bare in January, February, or March. The maximum depth usually occurs in February or early March and can be anywhere from 2 and one half feet to 4 and a half feet or even more on rare occasions.
