| episode_narrative | September 1998 continued the trend of both warmer and drier than normal weather across New Jersey. The dry weather reduced the yields on crops throughout the region. It also prolonged water restrictions in some communities. For example, Chester Borough in Morris County extended its mandatory water restrictions through the end of October. On a county weighted average, monthly precipitation totals were 67 percent or less than normal in all counties. The greatest deficiencies were across the southern half of the state where less than half of the normal precipitation fell. The greatest deficiencies were in Burlington, Cumberland and Ocean Counties where only around 32 percent of normal rainfall fell. September monthly mean temperatures averaged around 3 degrees above normal. The mean temperature of 72.2 degrees at the Marina was the 5th warmest September on record. The mean temperature of 69.3 degrees at the Atlantic City International Airport was the 7th warmest September on record. It was also the 9th warmest September on record (71.8 degrees) at Philadelphia International Airport. |
