Overview

The moist and mild pattern of late spring and early summer has left the Garden State quite green. There is nothing new to this pattern, as the first six months of 2019 totaled 27.22” of rain and melted snowfall, some 4.92” above the 1981–2010 mean, and a 49.0Β° average temperature, which is 1.3Β° above average. Each of these ranks 13th highest of the past 125 years.
