Halloween was so hot in central Maine that it was spooky. A 68-year-old record for the warmest Oct. 31 recorded in central Maine was buried Thursday when temperatures reached 75 degrees in Augusta and Waterville. Thursday’s high temperature easily broke the area’s record for Halloween, set at 69 degrees in 1956 — one of the region’s longest-standing high-temperature records for October.
