| episode_narrative | October 2000 was one of the driest Octobers on record in New Jersey and in a few locations, the driest month ever on record. On a county weighted average monthly precipitation totals ranged from 0.1 inches in Atlantic and Cape May Counties to 1.2 inches in Gloucester County. Normal monthly precipitation is around 3.4 inches. At the Atlantic City Marina, the monthly precipitation total of 0.01 inches was not only the driest October on record, but also tied September 1941 as the driest month on record. Records within Atlantic City go back to 1874. At the Atlantic City International Airport, the monthly precipitation total of 0.06 inches was not only the driest October on record, but also the driest month on record ever. Records at the airport go back to 1943. In Cape May City, the monthly precipitation total of 0.34 inches was the third driest October on record. Records have been kept since 1888. While the dry weather did not cause any appreciable agricultural damage, the falling leaves left the state susceptible to forest and brush fires. |
