The cold weather continued for the first 10 days of the month, including 6 days more than 5 degrees below normal, but then the weather pattern finally changed and the last 20 days averaged slightly above normal. We only had one more day after the 10th that was more than 5 degrees below normal. But for April as a whole, it was still the 4th consecutive month at least a degree colder than normal in Harpswell. We finally hit 60 degrees on the 14th, for the first time this year, and that started a stretch of 7 days out of 9 with a high temp over 60. A welcome change!
Harpswell temperatures were about 1.7 degrees below Portland for the month, the 5th time in the last 7 months we have had a negative Harpswell differential, after that happened only once in the months of September-April in the prior 3 years. It is normally cooler in Harpswell than Portland from May-August, but not previously in the other 8 months.
