Maine, one of the six New England states, experiences a wide variety of weather and some of the widest differences in temperature in New England. Maine has long, snowy winters, and a very impressive mud season as well.
What to expect: Maine's weather is highly changeable. It can go from sunny to stormy in a short period of time. Generally, summers are cool, with highs in the upper 70s or low 80s. Expect sweater weather most summer nights, even along the coast because the sea breezes there can feel quite cool. Winters in Maine are cold but generally, not frigid. January temperatures range 11 to 31 F.
