Reply to comment by ecco-domenica in Summer break in Maine- July or August? by stickybun_

Thank you so much! That was really helpful ❤️ I remember some years that September and November can be horribly rainy, I guess you never know! Always a gamble. Just curious, how hot are your summers now?

Hard for me to quantify & others might disagree, but where we used to have a day or two in the nineties once or twice a summer, I'd say it tends to happen more like three or four times and lasts for several days when it does. Fewer people get by without air conditioning of some sort now, where it used to be quite rare. I'm in southern Maine inland from the coast about 20 miles and bear in mind it's usually cooler on the coast than inland in summer.

Honestly, you're right, it probably won't seem that bad to you. The last time I went to Florida, I couldn't breathe for two days, it seemed so hot to me, and that was in February.

Yes, our heat is on a whole new level down here 🥵 anything under 85 is very pleasant to me now, lol. Im not worried about the heat, more so the ease of finding accommodation and not dealing with crazy traffic everywhere. I know the infrastructure in Maine hasn’t advanced fast enough for the influx of tourism and people moving there in recent years. Im thinking end of august it is!
