Caribou residents can expect a major shift by Monday, September 29, when skies clear and sunshine dominates. Highs will reach the low 70s, offering a bright start to the week before cooler nights dip into the 40s. Farmers and those working outdoors will benefit from the drier air and calmer winds, making Monday one of the most comfortable days of late September.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring more of the same with sun-filled skies and highs in the 60s, though nights will cool sharply into the upper 30s. With October beginning Wednesday, the region sees a seasonal pattern set in, featuring warm days and crisp, chilly evenings.
