NJ's May 2026 Weather Roundup: Record heat, crummy MDW and dry weather
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!

Worse drought, record heat & killing freeze | April 2026 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.

🥶COLD AND SNOWY | NJ's January 2026 Monthly Weather Roundup
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.

A stormy, hot mess | July 2025 Monthly Weather Roundup
Dave’s upcoming write-up, "Danger Lurks," reflects the month’s fatalistic tone. Dave and Joe discuss New Jersey's turbulent July, marked by extreme heat, flash flooding, and lightning fatalities. Coastal areas saw 5 inches of rain, with Union and Somerset counties facing severe floods, causing most of the 7 storm-related deaths. Warm ocean waters signal potential for stronger tropical storms. July was the 12th warmest on record at the Jersey Shore since 1895. However, it was the overnight low temperatures that really drove this. Recap the month of weather that was.

March 2025 Monthly Weather Roundup: Drought Eases, Winds Soar!
Dr. Dave Robinson, the New Jersey State Climatologist and I talk about New Jersey's March 2025 weather. The drought is getting better, bad drought in the south shrinking, though the northern Highlands and far south are still under significant drought conditions. Speaking of drought, March had no snow. It was warmer than usual—4.2 degrees above normal—making it the 11th warmest March ever, starting cold but ending with super warm days. The two then mention a big cold front on March 29th that made temperatures drop 32 degrees in one hour in some spots, plus this winter was the windiest since 2010-2011 with lots of wind warnings. Dave adds that people noticed the wind, but there's not enough data yet to prove it's a long-term change. Recap the month of weather that was. It's all Jersey, with two of Jersey's best weather guys.
