Dear John,
I hope you will plan to join us this Friday, October 27, from 12-1 PM for our virtual Lunch and Learn: What's up with the Weather? Examining extremes of the past year and how they relate to climate change.

Maine’s climate is getting warmer and wetter, and extreme weather patterns that can bring damaging rainfall or prolonged heat waves are becoming more common. But how does a warming climate produce these extremes? And why does it seem like 2023 has been particularly unusual, with Maine seeing its 2nd wettest summer on record while global mean temperatures soared to record highs?
Join Dr. Sean Birkel, Maine State Climatologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute and Cooperative Extension, as he explores these questions using data visualization tools developed as part of his work at the University. In this process, Sean will provide historical climate context and step through recent examples of extreme weather in Maine paired with the large-scale circulation patterns that facilitated these events.
I hope to see you Friday,
Kathleen
