 expanded northwards. Southeastern Piscataquis, central and 

 southern Penobscot, central and northern Hancock, all of 

 Washington, and southern Aroostook entered D0 drought. Far 

 southern Penobscot and western Hancock reentered Moderate Drought

 (D1). Few reports of dry conditions from farmers in Aroostook 

 County.

Climate Outlook:

-​ Temperatures: For July, Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is

 forecasting equal chances for above/below temperatures in

 northern and eastern Maine. For the season ahead, the outlook 

 shows temperatures could lean above climatological normal.

-​ Precipitation: For July, CPC is forecasting above normal

 precipitation in northern and eastern Maine. For the season

 ahead, outlook shows an equal chance for above/below normal

 precipitation throughout northern and eastern Maine.

 Advisory in effect. El Nino has a 97% chance of persisting
