Caribou, Maine – Warm, sunny weather will continue across northern and eastern Maine through the weekend and into early next week, giving residents several days of dry conditions before the next opportunity for rain arrives late Tuesday. While temperatures climb into the mid-80s inland, anyone heading to the coast should remain aware of dangerously cold ocean water.
According to the National Weather Service in Caribou, light winds and abundant sunshine will push afternoon highs into the low to mid-80s Saturday, with many communities reaching 83 to 86 degrees, including Caribou, Houlton, Presque Isle, Millinocket, and Bangor. Overnight lows will cool into the low to mid-50s, providing comfortable sleeping conditions.

A Beach Hazard Statement remains in effect along the Maine coastline, where ocean temperatures remain in the lower 50s. Despite the warm air, anyone entering the water could quickly experience cold-water shock or hypothermia. Boaters, kayakers, and paddleboarders are urged to wear life jackets and remain aware of tides, currents, and changing marine conditions.
Drivers and outdoor enthusiasts across northern Maine can expect favorable weather through the weekend, with dry roads and light winds making for excellent travel conditions.
