Scientists are tentatively predicting that weather conditions will be favorable this spring. Compared with last year, Mainers can expect cooler temperatures and increased precipitation going into the growing season. Over the past three years, Maine has seen significant periods of drought, which has hurt some key crops, such as wild blueberries and hay. Overall, the state’s climate is warming with increasingly warmer conditions in more populated, southern and coastal parts of the state. For now, Mainers can continue to expect cooler, spring-like temperatures for the rest of the month.
