Based on the forecast temperatures the remainder of the month it is projected that this September will rank as the 2nd warmest on record at Caribou with an average temperature of 61.6 degrees, just one tenth of a degree shy of the all-time record warmest September in 1999. At Bangor, based on the forecast temperatures the remainder of the month it is projected that this September will rank as the warmest on record with an average temperature of 65.5 degrees, which would break the previous record by two tenths of a degree that was set in 1961. Keep in mind that the monthly records do not become final until the end of the month, and at this time are based on the forecast temperatures the remainder of the month.
Based on the observed high temperatures this weekend and the forecast highs Monday and Tuesday there is the potential that there will be 4 consecutive days with a high of 80 degrees or warmer at Caribou. This would smash the old record of 2 consecutive days with a high of 80F or warmer on September 25-26, 2007.
