## Resource

Maine’s heatwave is back, with Portland and southern spots hitting 90 again — four such days so far this year, near the average. The last 90-degree days typically arrive around Aug. 11 in Portland, earlier in Augusta and Bangor, and even sooner in Caribou. A high-pressure system is moving in, promising a surge in heat and humidity early next week, with Tuesday and Wednesday likely the hottest, reaching the low to mid-90s. Meanwhile, the Maine Supreme Court upheld a ruling protecting transgender students in sports, and the Democratic Party is now focused on selecting a new Senate candidate to replace Graham Platner.
