Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Gulf of Maine Region for March - May 2021. Dated June 2021.

Spring was up to 3°C (5°F) warmer than normal in the region. Spring precipitation ranged from 50% of normal to 150% of normal. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the entire Gulf of Maine and Bay of Fundy were strongly above normal (greater than 2°C [4°F]) for the spring season. Anomalies were only slightly weaker around Cape Cod (around 1.5°C [3°F]) and over the Scotian Shelf (around 1.0°C [2°F]).

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program created these Climate Outlooks to inform the public about recent climate impacts within their respective regions. Each regional report contains easy-to-understand language, and anyone can access them through the Drought Portal.
