Summary
Maine’s sweltering heat wave is here — with temps hitting the 90s and humidity making it feel like 105-110 degrees, even overnight lows stay in the 70s. Isolated thunderstorms may bring damaging winds, but relief is on the way: heat breaks late Friday, with Saturday’s highs in the 80s-90s feeling much more bearable as humidity drops. Scattered storms linger through the weekend, and by July 4th, cooler, less humid conditions are expected — though some rain could still disrupt plans. This extreme heat could shatter records dating back to 1911, including 102°F in Portland and 101°F in Augusta. Stay cool and hydrated — this one’s serious.
