The month of July looks to have the highest temps throughout the summer, with August coming close but not getting as warm as July. What surprised me, there are no real 90 degree days at the Jersey Shore. I guess with the shore breeze, it really does keep it cooler along the coast. Also, the month of July or August should not exceed a temperature of 94, all summer long. A little surprising to me.
