Maine Mesonet

The Maine Mesonet website provides real-time, high-quality weather and soil data from weather stations across Maine. Because the timing of wild blueberry development and key management events (like applying pesticides and placing bees) is strongly influenced by temperature, moisture, and other environmental conditions, having localized, up-to-date measurements helps growers track phenological stages more accurately and make better field management decisions.
