Despite extreme weather conditions around the state this summer, it looks like there will be plenty of fall foliage color. You may just have to look a little harder for it. Areas that were hit hard by the summer’s drought may see peak colors a bit earlier than normal this year. The north typically peaks at the end of September into the first part of October, while southern and coastal Maine see peak colors in mid to late October. The colors are generally at their height in central Maine around the middle of October. This year the dry conditions could move the peak season up in southern and coastal Maine.
