September brought warm beach days, then a nor’easter that wouldn’t quit. I join Dr. John Krasting, New Jersey State Climatologist, to break down the Jersey Shore’s repeated flooding, powerful winds and drought relief. Plus, we explore what a strong El Niño could mean for winter—and why snow is no sure thing.

New Jersey just went through one of its muggiest stretches in years. Meteorologist Joe Martucci and State Climatologist Dr. John Krasting explain why August felt so humid.Around August 7, coastal South Jersey saw dew points near 75 degrees around the clock—levels of lasting humidity the state has not experienced in 10 to 15 years.

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!

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.

The Monthly Weather Roundup focused on January's weather patterns, particularly the significant snowstorm and persistent cold. Dave Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist, discussed the January 25th storm, which brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the state, with snowfall totals ranging from 8 to 12 inches in Monmouth County. He noted that while the storm was impactful, it could have been more severe if not for the cold air that limited snow accumulation. The cold weather dominated the latter part of January, with Dave explaining that while it was cold enough for ice skating and cross-country skiing, it wasn't record-breaking. He emphasized that despite the recent cold spell, New Jersey has been warming over time, with the coldest days becoming less extreme. The discussion also covered the state's ongoing drought conditions, with January precipitation being below normal, and the impact of snow and ice on water availability.
