WHAT A WEEKEND..."One of the best we've had in a long time,"said Diane Wieland, Cape May County's tourism director, in a
Cape May County Herald article. High temperatures and
holiday events brought big crowds to the shore over the long
weekend. Beaches were full, as were shops and
restaurants.
OH BOY, IT
WAS HOT! Really hot! Atlantic City Airport
reported a high temperature of 106F, tying the all-time record,
according to meteorologist Joe Martucci. The island was
slightly cooler - but just slightly! Late afternoon sea
breezes eventually appeared, finally bringing a bit of relief.
Beachgoers sought shade under umbrellas and boaters caught
breezes on sandbars, but the only way to truly beat the heat
this weekend was to be in the water - ocean temperatures were
around 70F, and very refreshing! This week saw the return
of more normal daytime highs in the upper 70s and low 80s.
