The climate of Maine (United States of America)
The state of Maine is the most northeasterly located state in the United States of America. It is the 39th most extensive and the 41st most populous state in the United States of America. Maine has a moderate continental climate. Several regions along the coast have a moderate maritime climate. Summers are warm and wet, winters are cool with snowfall. Even the influence of the warmer sea water cannot prevent it from getting really cold here. This is caused by the supply of cold air from the polar regions. Precipitation is quite evenly spread out over the year. The capital Augusta can record 1,075 millimeters of annual precipitation. From December till March most precipitation falls in the form of snow. Tens of centimeters of snow may fall per day. Summers are fairly wet. However, the sun still shines exuberantly, about 220-280 hours per month. In July And August temperatures are between 25-28 degrees Celsius (77-82 degrees Fahrenheit). So despite the occasional shower summers are pleasant.
