The weather data shown above comes from MADIS ( Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System ). MADIS collates data from federal, state and local agencies and then makes it available for public use. The MADIS data I use comes primarily from the New Jersey Weather and Climate Network and the Automatic Packet Reporting System ( APRS ). The round icons display current temperatures (°F). When the temperature icon equals or exceeds 90°F it turns red. Temperatures at or below 32°F are shown as blue. These stations range from Ocean City, Maryland to Provincetown, Massachusetts. This map was created primarily to help track the rain / snow line ( the 32°F isotherm ) as winter northeasters move up along the coast. It is also possible to see the cooling effect of sea breezes on coastal sites during the summer. Additional weather data for each station can be accessed in a pop-up table by clicking on the round temperature icons. These data are updated every 10 minutes.

WEATHER SUMMARY FOR DECEMBER 2024

TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL... SNOWFALL BRINGS A WHITE CHRISTMAS

Temperatures were 1.1°F (0.6°C) below normal here in Bergenfield during this past December with an average of 35.4°F (2.2°C). A maximum temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) was reached on the 11th and 29th. The minimum of 5°F (-15.0°C) was recorded on the 23th.

Precipitation was above average. It appears that the drought conditions plaguing our region have probably come to an end.

Snowfall on the 21st was followed by a brief but sharp cold snap that saw temperatures drop into the single digits. Additional light snow on the 24th provided just enough of a snow cover to give us a white Christmas.

Two new daily temperature records were set this month... A wind gust of 33mph(W) on the 5th and snowfall of 2.2" (5.6cm) on the 21st both established new daily records.
