Rain?

We are coming to Bar Harbor next weekend and the long range forcast shows lots of rain. What to do?



Rain?


The forecast that I read just now (from the National Weather Service via Weather Underground) has the rain probabilities for Thursday night and Friday as 50% (i.e., it might or might not rain) and partly cloudy conditions through Monday.





I don%26#39;t know how you are traveling or what you would like to do while you are here. In July, we seldom have long periods (hours, days) of rain; we can get brief showers. Even the rare thunderstorms are of relatively short duration.





You can do a lot of sight-seeing by using the Island Explorer shuttle system, which covers most of the park other than the summit of Cadillac. Oli%26#39;s trolley provides a very nice narrated tour of Bar Harbor and the park, including a run up to the top of Cadillac (and if it showers, they close the windows ;--%26gt;).



Rain?


Thank you for the superior (!) report. I got mine from the weather channel, but I like your local weather report better! If it does rain, we can follow your suggestions. If it is nice, I would like to do some walking. How are the mosquitos? I bought some Off (or other) handy wipes.




No mosquitoes to speak of and the black flies are now gone.
