Cold weather curbing New England tourism

Monday, 26 May, 2005 0

Cold, wet weather has put a damper on early summer tourism in New England.

More than four inches of rain fell this month in Portland, Maine, exceeding normal precipitation. And average temperatures were below normal.

The National Weather service posted hazardous weather, wind and flood watches for Maine and New Hampshire for the coming weekend.

“A month of overcast, wet weekends brought on by lingering low pressure has few people thinking good thoughts about vacations, and businesses dependent on tourists’ cash are on notice,” wrote the Associated Press.
