Mornin'! It's 51° in Wildwood. Happy Christmas Eve! It's been a nice vacation week so far other than this heavy rain pounding my staircase skylight. There's a "coastal flood" advisory posted for today. I wouldn't doubt it as those extreme high tides have been here as of late especially yesterday. The marsh grasses just about disappeared which never ceases to freak me out. Gives me that true "living on an island" feel. May have to fire up the sump pump today! Today's weather is rain, rain and more rain. Not to mention winds, winds, and more winds (S-SW at 24-35mph w/gusting). Temps will be in the upper 50s and maybe even tapping 60°. It'll be raining right into Christmas morning when these unwelcomed clouds finally check out. Guess I shouldn't look at a gift horse in the mouth as it could be the white stuff. Regardless...take heed if traveling today. Tonight...steady rains with temps in the upper 40s as the winds simmer down some but not enough to keep that holiday hair-do in place. Tis the season! High tide:9:15a.m. Low tide:3:31p.m. Ocean temp:48° Sunset:4:45p.m.
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.
