Maine Drought Expands Across Central Regions | Portland Maine News

Severe drought is spreading across central Maine, now affecting nearly 14% of the state — a stark contrast to the soaking rains we’ve been missing. Since June 1, most towns are running critically low on rainfall, with Sanford and Augusta down over four inches and Portland nearly three. What started as a small southern York County issue has crept up the coast and inland, threatening more areas. While scattered showers may pop up next week, real relief could come mid-week — fingers crossed for rain to turn things around before summer’s end.
