MADIS_LOGO

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 JULY 2026

MONTH BEGINS WITH RECORD-SETTING HIGH TEMPERATURES

The average temperature this past July in Bergenfield was 77.4 (25.2°C). This is 0.7°F (0.4°C) above the long-term mean. A maximum temperature of 104°F (40.0°C) was reached on the 2nd. The minimum of 57°F (13.9°C) was recorded on the 20th.

Precipitation was well above normal at 9.29" (236.0mm)... about twice what we usually receive. Despite of all the rainfall we still have a precipitation shortfall of more than 8" over the past 12 months.

The first 3 days of the month saw record breaking high temperatures with a maximum of 104°F on the 2nd followed by 102°F on the 3rd. A cold front passed though the region late on the 4th accompanied by showers and damaging wind. I recorded a gust of 45mph(W). The 14th and 15th saw temperatures rise above 90°F again. Heavy showers fell on the 21st when I recorded 1.75" of rain but the big precipitation event of the month occurred on the 27th and 28th when almost 4" fell. Torrential rain with lighting and hail resulted in flash floods and downed tree limbs. Low-lying streets were inundated and a number of stranded drivers had to be rescued by the police and fire departments. All in all, it was a very eventful month in terms of the weather.
