What's weather like in Portland, Maine?

Portland sits right on the harbor and the ocean surrounds the sides of the downtown peninsula. You can see the ocean, smell the sea salt and you can count on that crisp ocean breeze on hot summer days. The colder months, which are most of the year, still offer much beauty. You can sit on top of the Eastern Prom in a snowstorm with a hot drink in a thermos, watching the boats on the ocean as the sun starts to go down. Part of what makes Portland such an amazing place to live is how close nature is to the city. It’s a 10-20-minute drive to a hike, lake or nature preserve. Much of Maine culture is about getting outside and taking advantage of the landscape.
Portland, Maine, is on the smaller side which makes it easy to feel like there’s a palpable sense of community. The restaurant scene is plush and continues to surprise. Oceanic coastal views and seaside weather envelop the city all year. Lakes and mountains are minutes away. While Portland is technically a city, it feels like a big small-town.
