Caribou Weather Station Sky View

A National Weather Service Vantage Point

This camera broadcasts from the NWS Caribou Weather Forecast Office, one of the northernmost forecast offices in the contiguous United States. Perched on the office grounds, it offers a sweeping panorama that meteorologists and visitors use to gauge conditions across the region.

The Aroostook County Landscape

The lens looks out over rolling farmland and meadow typical of Aroostook County, Maine's largest and most rural county. A ribbon of highway curves past a thick boreal treeline, hinting at the endless forests that define this corner of New England.

Instruments and the Open Sky

In the foreground stand the office's meteorological instruments — a prominent satellite dish and a tall anemometer mast — set against a dominant, ever-changing northern sky that fills the upper half of the frame.

Living on the Edge of the North

Caribou sits near the Canadian border in a region known for dramatic seasonal swings, from deep winter snow to lush green summers. The wide field of view makes this an ideal vantage for watching the vast skies roll across far northern Maine.
