Birkel comments on Maine weather in Downeast magazine
In the article “5 Things a Maine Newcomer Should Know” in Downeast magazine’s November 2020 issue, Sean Birkel, a University of Maine research assistant professor and Maine state climatologist, indicated temperature variations of as much as 10 degrees are common between northern and southern Maine. Birkel also differentiated coastal and inland snow patterns, noting that the mountains and other inland areas of Maine generally receive more and drier snow than coastal areas.
