| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | July started with unseasonably hot and humid weather across New Jersey. The hottest and most humid weather occurred on Independence Day before a cold front quietly moved through the region during the night of the 4th. Highest temperatures for most locations were well into the 90s and heat indices reached as high as 105 degrees. Offshore winds even baked shore areas on the 3rd and 4th as high temperatures reached into the 90s. The excessive heat caused a small number of heat related illnesses across the state, mainly the elderly. Festivals scheduled for Independence Day showed drops in attendance figures because of the hot weather. Jersey Central Power and Light set a new usage record of 5,617 megawatts on the 3rd. Highest temperatures included 100 degrees in Pennsauken (Camden County) and Belvidere (Warren County), 99 degrees in Margate (Atlantic County), White House Station (Hunterdon County) and Morristown (Morris County), 98 degrees in Millville (Cumberland County), West Deptford (Gloucester County), Hightstown (Mercer County), New Brunswick (Middlesex County), Freehold (Monmouth County), Vernon (Sussex County) and Mount Holly (Burlington County), 97 degrees in Beach Haven (Ocean County), Wildwood (Cape May County), Trenton (Mercer County) and the Atlantic City International, 96 degrees in Somerville (Somerset County) and the Marina within Atlantic City and 94 degrees in Flemington (Hunterdon County). |
