Climate report cited in BDN health article on hot days in Maine
A University of Maine report was mentioned in the Bangor Daily News health article, “More evidence that Mainers can’t handle the heat.” Maine typically experiences one to five days each summer when the heat index approaches 95 degrees, according to the article. However, the Climate Change Institute’s “Maine’s Climate Future: 2015 Update” predicts the number of extremely hot days in Maine will jump to 10 to 15 summer days by 2060.
