New to Brunswick/Portland?

Ever consider a contract job in Brunswick/Portland, ME or just want to learn more about the area? You've stopped in the right place. Nestled along the forested coast of Maine (just thirty minutes north of Portland) lies a relaxed seaside town. With over twenty thousand citizens, Brunswick gives you the best of both worlds, with a wide variety of entertainment and dining options coupled to a more relaxed, small town atmosphere.


So How is the Weather in Brunswick/Portland

When most people think of Maine, they think of freezing winters and hectic snowstorms - luckily, the proximity of Brunswick to the coast smooths out these extremes to create a pleasant, year round calendar of comfort. In the summer months, the temperature peaks at a very moderate 79℉, and during the winter, your average afternoon rarely dips below freezing, more typically sitting between 35 and 45 degrees fahrenheit. As far as snow goes, expect a little bit in the winter months (averaging around 2.5 inches/month), but don't pack a snowblower, as the higher average temperatures mean that when snow does fall, it doesn't stay long.
