Conditions May Vary: A Guide to Maine Weather

Author Information:   GREG ZIELINSKI is a climatologist who has worked for the states of Maine and North Carolina. He currently lives in Orono, Maine.

"Conditions may vary.” That’s the phrase you will often hear when you want to know about Maine weather. With its mountains, rolling hills, flat farm country, and rock-bound coast, Maine’s geography is enough to invite a variety of weather conditions. But, as former Maine State climatologist Greg Zielinski proves, there’s much more to Maine’s weather than that. Jet stream, Gulf Stream, cold Canadian air masses, ocean temperature, and much more contribute to the challenges of predicting the weather here. Maine may be as famous for its winter snow and ice storms as it is for the refreshing summer breezes that blow along its coast. It is home to nor’easters and the occasional hurricane, too. Find out in Conditions May Vary what makes Maine’s weather so changeable—as well as endlessly fascinating.
