Until Next Year June...



Mornin'!  It's 74° in Wildwood NJ.  It's sunny and calm (breezes out of the N-NE at 2-3mph).  It's a lovely summer morn with the sounds of everyone's air conditioner including mine buzzing and humming when stepping onto the back porch.  The Heat is on!  Our surrounding tri-state area will be experiencing temps at least 10 degrees (and higher) above average this holiday week.  Even though our island is much cooler and more comfortable than the mainland and the big city (Philadelphia), it'll still be very warm here as temps get into the 90s with Ms Sun glaring down with intensity.  Unfortunately, we'll have a warm land breeze (W-SW 5-8mph) taking us right into this evening which will be partly clear with temps in the low-mid 70s. Any breeze that has "West" in it...keep the insect repellent handy for those nasty biting greenhead flies.  And, when packing your beach bag...plenty of water, sunblock, a hat and footwear is a must.  I'm seeing a lot of sunburnt skin on the beach as of late as well as folks running with burning foot pain while running across the smoldering sand without shoes/sandals.  I was dipping in the ocean (several times) yesterday and it's becoming much warmer (low 70s) yet refreshing and near perfect in my opinion.  The entire beach day was near perfect...a "10" on a scale from 1 to 10!  Hopefully, it'll repeat for the remainder of this holiday season as we bid adieu to June!  We did have some rather nice weather this month.
