Did you feel the heat wave in May? 🌞 Here's what happened during those sizzling days! From record-breaking temperatures to the surprising sea breezes, this month was a wild ride for New Jersey’s weather. We hit highs of 100°F in some areas, making it one of the hottest Mays on record. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as humid, which made the heat more bearable. But those unexpected sea breezes? They were Mother Nature’s way of balancing the scorching heat. On the 20th, temperatures dropped dramatically as the cool ocean air swept in, proving how dynamic our local weather can be. As we head into summer, let’s keep an eye on these patterns. How will they shape our beach days ahead? Stay updated on the latest weather trends – link in bio for the full weather roundup!

January will be either the 3rd or 4th driest January on record and that only means we're running out of time to escape drought before spring comes and water usage goes up. Otherwise, the big story was the cold! Temperatures were below average more than half the month. Despite the chill though, we only broke one record.

New Jersey's September weather broke the usual patterns. It began with a brisk chill. Then it shifted back to summer warmth. It's one of only a few times on record when the second half of September was warmer than the first half. Overall, temperatures ended up a bit above average.

Dave and Joe then noted drought warnings in northern areas. Coastal regions faced heavy rain. Eroding beach sands now threaten winter storm defenses. They also discussed Hurricane Sandy’s 13th anniversary and whether memories of the storm are fading. Stay tuned for updates on hurricane risks and stunning fall foliage.

November capped off the driest climatological autumn on record in the state, with 3.67" of precipitation between September and November, according to New Jersey State Climatologist Dave Robinson. Those records go back to 1895, also. The next driest was 4.24", too! This year blew out the old mark set back in 1922.

November ended our statewide longest dry streak on record, too. Dave Robinson and I talk about why the recent rain was NOT enough to cure drought.

Get this, a look back at a near record breaking warm November and more on our Monthly Weather Roundup.

Drought continues for the sixth month in a row in New Jersey, according to the state's Department of Environmental Protection. Now, though, other indicators are showing warning signs of a crippling drought, too. Believe it or not, April was in the top 10 for warmest Aprils since records started in 1895. That's true even though April 21 brought a killing freeze to most of New Jersey only seen once or twice a decade.

After 3 straight months with colder than average temperatures, March winds up not just warm, but in the top 20 warmest going back to 1895! One thing that didn't change was precipitation. The Jersey Shore wound up much drier than average and NJ State Climatologist Dr. Dave Robinson is concerned about wildfire season. Recap the month of weather that was.
