Now that St. Patrick's Day and Easter are over, it is full steam ahead until Memorial Day, and of course, that's the unofficial start to summer here at the Jersey Shore and the busiest time of the year for us here in New Jersey.

Summers here in the Garden State are typically hazy, hot, and humid with a lot of 80s and 90s, that classic humidity that hits you the second you walk outside, but that’s part of the Jersey deal. It’s beach days, boardwalk nights, ice cream runs, and backyard BBQs. Yeah, you’ll get a random thunderstorm here and there, but most of us just roll with it. It’s busy, a little sweaty, and somehow still one of the best times of the year around here.

What's the Forecast for the Summer Season In New Jersey?

Looks like we could be getting a jump start on summer this year, at least that’s what the folks over at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center are saying with their latest long-range outlook.

Forecasters "released its seasonal temperature outlook for May through July, showing an increased likelihood of above-average temperatures across much of the Mid-Atlantic region, including New Jersey."

According to a recent Patch article, "The outlook indicates a higher probability of warmer conditions compared to historical averages, though it does not guarantee specific temperatures on any given day."

It looks to me that we are looking at a hot summer, but nothing is set in stone yet for June, July, and August. There also seems to be no clear sign yet whether we will see a wet summer, at this point in time.

It seems vague, but it looks to be a typical Jersey summer with hot and humid conditions, probably great beach weather, and that's the best news we can get, right?
