Same story every summer here.

The extensive grassy areas surrounding the Tweed HVN airport have turned brown over the last few weeks. It has been the 8th driest June 1st to July 23rd on record here with under 3.00” of rain.

Combine that with the 4th highest average high temperature to enhance the drying. Plus the 98° max during this period here was the 3rd warmest temperature ever recorded here.

We have been seeing very little balance with our rainfall patterns. Some areas have had extreme flooding with other areas seeing very little. While we have been in an overall much wetter pattern last 20-25 years, many times we are getting the rainfall all at once rather than spread out.

Thank you Walt. You are excellent in your chosen profession but due to your honesty and unselfish ability to give others credit, you’ll never make it in politics. As always….

July 1993 was memorable especially in NJ for the number of stations with an average high temperature of 90° and higher. July 2022 was the most recent version of this in NJ. But July 2010 and 2011 have the most number of stations at 90° and above. This July so far has been more about the record dew points keeping the low temperatures up. So the 90° average highs this month aren’t as impressive as some past years.

There are also fewer stations today than those earlier periods, at least reported by xMacis. This month counts 36 stations, with an average maximum of 87.04F (after removing duplicated ThreadEx sites). In 1993, there were 44 stations, with an average maximum temperature of 87.75F (after removing duplicated ThreadEx stations). Not as big of a difference in the means as one might think. Of course, I haven't made any effort at "gridding" or areal averaging to account for disparate location in the two sets. But with low temperatures factored in, I would certainly expect 2025 to come in somewhere above 1993's 18th place average.

According to NCEI, it looks 1955 & 1999 had the warmest mean maximum temperatures for New Jersey. They have the statewide average as 89.9F for 1955 & 90.0F for 1999.

This has been a top 5 warmest summer so far for low temperatures across the region at most of our stations. Several stations have made the top 5 for highs including mine. It’s what we get with the dew points near the highest on record for the month of July. If the week 3 forecasts continue to verify warmer than the EPS heading into August,  then this could finish as one of the warmest summers on record for low temperatures.

Yeah it’s getting dry. Burned lawns and wilting plants. Pretty par for the course for summer near the coast. Last year was exceptional and second only to the summer 95 Hamptons fire summer drought. 
Tomorrow looks good for .5-1” for anyone that gets under good convection.

getting to the point where we need a 1/2 to 1 day rainer....nothing in the cards in that dept

Thats not a continuous record from 1843 to today though is it?

Do they have snowfall records too?

 

Yeah, 1867-1868 was their 2nd snowiest winter behind 1995-1996. But they often waited until after the snow ended to measure back in those days rather than the more frequent measurements of today before compaction. So it’s possible that 1995-1996 would have been eclipsed if they measured as frequently as we do today.

we have had plenty of rain, one can argue it's too much rain.  This is our first four day period without rain since early June.  I only expect or want rain one day per week at most.

I think some earlier winters were even snowier for example 1803-1804, 1836-37, 1843-44.  Those are just off the top of my head.  1782-83 might have been the snowiest of them all with that Laki super eruption.

1993 heat was much more widespread than 2022, we were all roasting for the entire summer

we have had plenty of rain, one can argue it's too much rain.  This is our first four day period without rain since early June.  I only expect or want rain one day per week at most.

yeah lawns here pretty green and a historic year for crabgrass. Im enjoying the recent dry spell and hope we avoid storms over the weekend

More rain just leads to more humidity and higher dew points.  It's much more comfortable with less rain and a drier kind of heat.

You like a drier heat? Huh, no one here knew that… I could use some rain up here but I’m not fretting. Most of the lawn is browning up and going dormant but it’ll come back just like every other summer.

Don't get me wrong, Rob, 1 inch of rain once a week is good.  I can admit I was glad that it cooled down after that 2 day extreme heat we had in late June lol.

So they were just sitting on this data for all these years and decided to all of a sudden release it?

I didn't think anyone was even keeping daily weather records in Newark from the early 1840s. 

How does the weather record of Newark beat NYC's by almost 30 years?

25000 people lived in Newark back in 1845 compared to over 310k now.  Doesn't even compare.

Please stop drinking, washing clothes, showering, washing the car, watering the lawn and some other everyday stuff. That aquifer under the sand bar needs some help

summers should be dry, we have hoses for those who plant stuff that needs water.

And where is it that the water comes from that comes out of those hoses? Rain maybe? Nah...

It’s really cool that they just updated the Newark area weather records back to 1843. They used to average only 6 days reaching 90° a year from 1843 to 1872. The winter weather records are pretty fun to look at also.

My lawn has brown spots from blight, disease, from too much moisture.
