The wind has been S/SE almost all summer keeping the water cold. My car read 77 degrees in AP 2 blocks in from the beach. Another beautiful day at the beach.
Is this really news?? Similar to green heads being a problem on the beach when there is a West wind.Per NJ news 12:
The cold water was due to a process called upwelling, which occurs when strong winds from the south and southwest push warm water to the bottom of the ocean, causing cold water from the ocean floor to rise to the surface.
The map showed most of the NJ shoreline but Sandy Hook might be north enough to feel the avg temp in the low 70s.
Camp? Still need the extra money? :)Today was deceptively hot at camp. Totally snuck up on the staff and we sent a bunch of them home with heat related illnesses. I'm always shocked when the parents send the kids in when it's going to be 100+ out. It's hard to keep them upright.
It’s still pretty clear, clouds to the west. I’m up on my roof deck and I had to get a sweatshirt it’s so chillyLooks like Cape May County is going to be nailed again tonight.

I’m already seeing lightning to the WestYour problems start at 11pm
Can we end this thread now and start a cold wave thread?Most of the state hasnt even hit 90 once yet despite an overall warmer than normal regime in May and the first half of June. Many of you will not realize how big the jump in temperature will wear on you after days and days of prolonged heat. There is still a question of where the hottest weather will be centered...its expected to possible be north of here in upstate NY and NE. NYC and eastern locations may not see the core of the heat and be more so in the low 90s. Mt Holly going very bullish with the high temps this week and they could be leaning into the dry conditions which only enhances our potential. Lawns already starting to dry out will turn to toasty browns and yellows by the weekend

It's summer time, you know.No.
Heat is gone for the next week although some may touch 90 on Sunday. 80s but with humidity and a lot of shower chances. Probably not the best of weeks coming up.
Heat may reload after next weekend
It's summer time, you know.
I knew the general science but I found his last sentence informative:Is this really news?? Similar to green heads being a problem on the beach when there is a West wind.
It's like some people have never been to the beach consistently in NJ.
And they don't move the warm to the bottom. They move it North or offshore.
It's glorious to walk outside for five minutes and not have your sack stick to the side of your leg.
Is it possible to have 110-115 temp in NJ in a few years?
