| Caribou Maine has 3rd Day with record cold |
| 2009-01-18 |
| At 2:06 am on Sunday, January 18th, the temperature at the Caribou Municipal Airport fell to a low of -30 degrees, setting a new record low for this date. The previous record, -28 degrees, was set in 1971 and tied in 1982. Daily low temperature records were also set on January 17th (-33 degrees) and January 16 (-37 degrees). This -37 degree reading on January 16 was a record monthly minimum as well, eclipsing the previous all time January low of -33 degrees from 1995. On Jan 16 there was a -50F reading in the NW part of Maine. If this is confirmed it would be the all time State record besting the 1925 record of -48F |
