Southern Manie coastal weather May/June

I am thinking of visiting the Ogunquit/York area in late May/early June. Can anyone give me an idea of what the temperature will be? I don%26#39;t like heat and don%26#39;t want to be uncomfortably hot. Also, will insects be a problem?

Is it better to schedule my trip for the second week in May, with regard to temperature and insects? And, what will the pollen/allergy situation be like? I couldn%26#39;t find any info on that at all.

Many thanks!

I don%26#39;t think you would be ';uncomfortably hot,'; however weather is unpredictable, as you know. Two days ago we had a record hot day with temps in the 90%26#39;s. The next day it was 30 degrees cooler.

There will definitely be insects, but I don%26#39;t think they%26#39;ll decrease the enjoyment of your trip. Having said that, we don%26#39;t know what you plan to do. If you%26#39;re heading into the woods or hanging out after dusk, bring or buy some bug repellent.

As to pollen, I just Googled ';Maine pollen'; and found this site, as well as others:

Keep in mind that a lot of these sites are sponsored by allergy meds companies:-)

We were there early June last year and the weather was very nice. Mild, 70%26#39;s, sunny and no bug problems. We always take garlic pills for a week before going to New England and it seems to help...drying your clothes with BOUNCE also helps. I don%26#39;t think that 2nd week of May is a better choice...pretty sleepy then and bugs might be more trouble.

Thanks for that helpful link, CB48!

Thanks, joesorce.

I just realized I spelled ';Maine'; and ';Manie'; in the subject line of this thread. Whoops.
