Event Navigation
Maine’s climate is getting warmer and wetter, and we are seeing more extremes such as impactful heavy rainfall events. In this presentation, Dr. Sean Birkel will step through Maine’s historical temperature and precipitation trends and future projections, and show how these changes link to shorter winters, longer summers, and shifts in spring and fall frost dates. At the end of the talk Dr. Birkel will give an overview of online tools relevant to gardeners, including growing degree day and precipitation summaries, frost date estimates, and otherwise useful climate and weather websites.
Registration is required. The program fee is offered on a sliding scale, $0-$10 and is free to enrolled Master Gardener Volunteers. This session will be recorded and shared with those who register for this webinar.
