The climate of New Jersey (United States of America)
The state of New Jersey is located in the northeastern part of the United States. New Jersey has the highest population density of all states. This is mainly caused by the city of Newark which is almost completely conjoined to the city of New York in the northeast. Several other cities have almost completely become conjoined to Philadelphia which is located in Pennsylvania. An example of this is the city of Camden which is separated from Philadelphia by the Delaware River. New Jersey has a warm maritime climate with warm and fairly wet summers and cool winters. Precipitation falls all year round with a peak in August. Fall is the driest period. Because of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean the cities along the coast get fewer snowy days than those in the interior. During the summer an ocean breeze tempers the heat in cities along the coast, such as Atlantic City. In the interior temperatures may rise above 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) during the summer. Along the coast temperatures are a few degrees lower.

More climate information
Climate tables are useful but they don’t give an overall picture of the climate and possible weather conditions during a period of time. How high the chances are of hot or cold weather or hurricanes can often not be found in these tables. This is why we offer extra climate information per month. The figures below apply to Atlantic City. For climate figures on specific regions and places please, visit the relevant individual climate pages.
