Mornin'! What a lovely "May Day"! Known as the Festival of Flora (Roman Goddess of Flowers), the earliest May Day was celebrated pre-Christian times. This goddess will spend most of her day continuing to work on my flowers and garden. Many cultures and countries celebrate today as "International Workers Day" or "Labour Day" or a traditional "Public Holiday." I just know Wildwood is experiencing a bright, sunny, quiet, gorgeous, Sunday morning. The island birds sure know it's all of that as they shout it to the world. It's 47° with no breeze in the air or clouds in the sky. Temps will rise to the mid-upper 60's as breezes will pick up this afternoon from the NNE at 10-15mph. Clear skies give way to some rain clouds later today. There's a 30% chance of showers this evening into the overnight and start of tomorrow. High tide: 7:36a.m.; Low tide: 1:20p.m.; Ocean Temp: 60°; 50 days until Summer! Do some planting today...perhaps something in honor of those suffering in our South who have suffered from the deadly tornadoes this week.
A daily weather forecast of Wildwood, New Jersey. I'm a lover of the weather and more importantly the sea, sand, tides, sunrises, sunsets and moon charts. I've discovered since living here on the island (2004) how different our weather is than the mainland. Or, better yet, the Philadelphia area where I was born and raised. Lucky for me my family spent just about every summer vacationing in Wildwood. I did the same while raising my own children. I'm blessed to have been able to call it home as being "down the shore" full time is pretty amazing. People always ask, "How bad is it in the Winter?" You know what they say... "If you're lucky enough to live by the beach, you're lucky enough." As for this weather thing... I will never get used to the fact that when there's a snowstorm in Philly, it could be a misty/rainy, almost mild Winters' day in Wildwood or if there's a Nor'easter bringing Wildwood to its knees, it could be a cloudy, windy day in Philly. These towns are less than two hours apart. Since my Philly family and friends always assume that I'm having the same weather as the big city, I began blogging about Wildwood NJs weather to keep the record straight.
