| episode_narrative | July 1998 started a run of drier than normal weather across New Jersey. On a county weighted average, rainfall totals for the month of July were between 1.5 and 3.0 inches and averaged about half of normal. The driest conditions occurred across Hunterdon, Somerset and Middlesex Counties where only about 30 percent of the normal July rainfall fell. The lack of rain started to stress crops in Central New Jersey. Farmers in Central New Jersey rely more on rainfall than irrigation. The dry weather also forced Chester, Mount Olive and Parsippany in Morris County to impose some water use restrictions. The July monthly rainfall total at the Atlantic City International Airport was 1.40 inches. In nearby Pennsylvania, monthly rainfall totals were only 1.79 inches at the Philadelphia International Airport and 1.18 inches at the Lehigh Valley International Airport. |
