Mornin'! It's 78° in Wildwood NJ. Humidity's 91% with a Dewpoint of 73°. Breezes are light out of the W-SW at 4-6mph. It's early and still dark with the sky full of stars. It's beautiful outside. It'll be another very hot day with temps in the mid-upper 90s as Ms Sun heats the island up. It's going to be very humid and feel like 104°. Winds will be out of the West at 10-15mph. By this afternoon, clouds will filter in bringing along the 50% chance of showers and/or thunderstorms. Storms could be severe with strong gusty winds. Keep your eye on the sky! Tonight... partly cloudy with a stray shower or thunderstorm possible. Temps will drop into the low-70s with West winds at 5-10mph. Tomorrow... another hot summer day ahead with temps in the mid-90s and those warm West winds keeping the island even warmer. Those winds also carry our favorite green-head flies!
Mornin'! It's 80° in Wildwood NJ. It's warm this morning with Ms Sun trying to shine through the haze. Humidity's 73% with a Dewpoint of 72°. Winds are still out of the West at 5-8mph. It'll be a sunny to partly sunny day with temps even hotter than yesterday... low-mid 90s. It'll feel like 100°. Winds will be out of the West at 10-15mph. Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the mid-upper 70s and SW winds at 5-10mph. Tomorrow... as hot as yesterday and today but with 40% chance of scattered showers and/or thunderstorms. Those West winds don't seem to be checking out any time soon either. Pack the insect repellent!
Mornin'! It's 81° in Wildwood NJ. Humidity's 83% with a Dewpoint of 73°. It's warm when stepping outside this early morn. Skies are clear with not much in breezes to note... N-NE 2-4mph. Expect a mix of clouds and sun today with temps near 90° and E-NE breezes at 10-15mph. There's a 20% chance of precipitation (rain showers and/or thunderstorms passing through) both today and tonight. Tonight... mostly clear with a few clouds in the mix. Temps down into the mid-70s with light and variable breezes. Tomorrow... a repeat of today. Today's breezes will be more refreshing than yesterday for sure as they'll be coming off the cooler ocean than that searing beach. Still, today's sand will be intensely hot. Remember what to pack for the beach... footwear, a hat, umbrella, plenty of water etc. Keep a "beach check-list" handy and follow through (it makes it easier). My beach list consists of: all of the above plus a mask, my phone, small spray bottle of water, my book, a camera, a blanket, a sand chair, a sand grabber for the umbrella, a bungee to keep the umbrella anchored on a windy day, a towel, a small trash bag, insect repellent, sunscreen, a small first aid kit (bandaids, alcohol wipes, small bottle of vinegar for possible jelly fish sting, Tylenol), lunch or a snack, phone, Ipod/headset, comb/brush, a cover up and of course ID or anything else you can think of for your "stuff". Happy Beaching!

Mornin'! It's 82° in sunny Wildwood NJ. Humidity's down to 67% with a Dewpoint of 69°... ahhhh! The sky is blue and breezes are light out of the West at 5-10mph. It's a perfect morning down the shore (at least in the weather department). As for inconsiderate visitors... not so perfect as trash is thrown everywhere in my street. Someone had a field day at McDonalds and thought my street was their trashcan.
Mornin'! It's 73° in Wildwood NJ. Fay's here! You talk about miserable! She came onshore very late last night... around 1-2am very quietly with light rainfall. This is what Fay's doing now... first off, she's a tropical storm roaring in from the Ocean bringing with her very heavy, wind driven rains.

Mornin'! Happy Primary Election Day in New Jersey! It's 72° in Wildwood NJ. Humidity's 88% with a Dewpoint of 70°. Ms Sun's up and brightly shining as breezes are light out of the S-SE at 4-6mph. The beach has some low lying ground fog on the dunes as yesterday's and last night's storms gave the island a good drenching. Ms Sun's burning off the dew as I type. Thank goodness for Mother Nature's watering as we truly haven't had a good torrential soaking like that in a very long time. North of us has... Ocean City, Atlantic City, Sea Isle City... all have been getting these storms along with many inches of rainfall and even major flooding as of late. But, not Wildwood. I've been watering my gardens every single day since who knows when. But, not today! Beginning around 4pm yesterday (during the mass beach exodus) when the skies darkened bringing the huge storm clouds, the thunder and lightning began, along with consistent stormy, rainy weather. I stayed up until around midnight as it began to wind down. Who knows if it continued throughout the night as I slept through it if it had. We had no flooding from the steady tropical rainfall either.

We may see a stray shower or thunderstorm this morning (20% chance) as these clouds drift on out probably by noon.

It's the Full Moon (at 12:45AM officially early tomorrow) and we should have no problem enjoying this big ol' moon tonight as the clouds won't interfere. Known as the "Buck Moon" for this time of year a buck's antlers are in full growth mode during July's moon. It's also known at the Thunder Moon because of the thunderstorms so frequent this time of year. 
Mornin'! It's 78° in Wildwood NJ. Humidity's 74% with a Dewpoint of 70°. There's just about no breeze to note... N-NW at 3-6mph.

Be aware of a few things today in this heat... carry with you water, a hat, footwear, sunscreen along with your Mask. Remember that Ms Sun's her strongest between 10-4. Oh, and those West winds are in the mix today so you might want to keep insect repellent close at hand for the biting green head flies.
Mornin'! It's 71° in Wildwood NJ. Ms Sun's up and beginning to shine and break through leftover fog and cloud cover. Breezes are light out of the N-NW at 3-5mph. It's quiet, still, fragrant with that ol' marshy, wetland aromas and all is well with the world. Well, I wish it was. God knows when that will be.
