If you haven’t installed your air conditioner yet, this is the time to do it.
The National Weather Service office in Caribou forecasts that the mercury will soar into the 70s and 80s across the state the next two days. So Monday’s cool spell isn’t meant to last.
In Bangor, we’ll see temperatures climb to about 83 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday and then 81 degrees Wednesday.
While record-breaking temperatures are expected across the state, Bangor might not see that. The record high for May 19 is 89 degrees, set in 1962, while the record for May 20 is 86 degrees, set in 2003.
Those sweltering temperatures may be accompanied by thunderstorms on Tuesday, with about a 50/50 chance for Bangor to see one around 3 p.m. Keep that in mind if you intend to go out and about to beat the heat.
