Summer Heat Gives Way to Early Fall Weather: Storms and Pattern Change Expected in Maine

The summer heat in Portland, Oregon, has come to an end as cooler fall weather arrives early this year. A thick marine layer has moved inland, which was a common occurrence in summers before 2013 but has become rare in recent years due to consistent warm/hot weather. The temperature in Portland reached a high of 71 degrees, the coolest day in over two months. August is still on track to be the warmest on record in Portland, but the forecast for the next 10 days shows a lack of heat with a possibility of showers. The wettest period is expected to be in the first seven days, which will help dampen fires and bring relief to the region.

The marine layer has often extended well inland and to higher elevations, enshrouding mountain roads and communities. While the cool and cloudy weather is expected to continue in June, there are signs that a shift is on the horizon, with summer heat potentially arriving in July.
