THE WEATHER REPORT:

‘The Weather Report’ is the conversations we are all having about how the forecast is a part of our daily lives.

You heard some people in the County saying it’s going to be a hot one this weekend - and it was. That’s kind of how Maine weather is - just the way you like it for some and too hot for others.

People are really talking about Monday. It's going to be a record breaker in some parts of Maine. In the 90's and humid. Do you know people who like the humid days? Do you like it muggy? Don’t be surprised if you can’t believe some Mainers love the sticky weather. A lot of it depends on where you are and what you’re doing.

Sitting in front of an air conditioner and fan can make a drenching day not so bad. Speaking of which - the question has come up - when do you put in your air conditioner? Before July? Let us know in the Facebook comments.

Friday and Saturday got into the upper 70’s to low 80’s with enough humidity to give us a look at what's coming this summer. Wait until we start getting into the mid to upper 90’s. Soon enough. Sunday was also hot with a high in the mid 70’s. We talked to a lot of people who said that’s ideal weather for them.

It was perfect for a free fishing weekend in Maine and New Brunswick both Saturday and Sunday. Anytime that happens, there are some rules and regulations. You can see the details on our Facebook.

Start prepping for the sun with sun block and cold water. The stores have the spf 30 and up put out on display right when you walk in. Grab a travel bottle to put in your bag and something bigger for around the house or if you go somewhere with other people - they’ll be glad you have some because chances are they won’t have any sun protection.

Take care and be mindful of the time you spend outside in the heat. Stay hydrated and use sun block.
