| episode_narrative | Unseasonably dry weather returned to most of New Jersey during the month of May, especially in the southeast part of the state. On a county weighted average, only .9 of an inch of rain fell during the month of May in Cape May County. This is 26 percent of normal. Except for Gloucester and Hudson Counties, all other counties in the state received below rainfall. Deficits averaged around .7 of an inch below normal or about 75 percent of normal. Even when heavy rain fell during the month, it was not widespread. The heavy rain that fell on May 19th was localized in the western part of the state. The heavy rain that fell on the 24th was confined to locations right along the Delaware River near Philadelphia. The dry conditions exacerbated forest fires that occurred in the Pine Barrens during the start and end of the month. |
