A gorgeous summertime view, as seen from Avalon Boulevard, looking toward Sea Isle City. It won’t be long!
IT’S FEELING LIKE SPRING! We’ve had a few sunny days, and daytime temperatures are rising. And, just like every year, “chance of showers” appears frequently in our forecast, and there’s always the possibility of a cool sea breeze in the later afternoon. This weekend we’re expecting mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper fifties. The ocean water temperature is still in the low to mid fifties, but is warming gradually.
WE’RE ABOUT A MONTH AWAY from our unofficial summer season kick off! Property preparations are being made, landscaping and flowers are coming alive, stores and restaurants are preparing for the summer season, and you can feel the excitement in the air! Buy your beach tags—it won’t be long before you’re sittin’ on the sand!
PREDICTIONS for an active hurricane season along the Atlantic coast were made last week by Colorado State University. Complex factors affecting those predictions include the effects of La Nina and El Nino wind patterns, water temperatures in the Atlantic, and even water temperatures in the Pacific. But local expert weather forecaster NorEaster Nick urges caution and calm, and says “it’s not Armageddon. Remember the winter forecasts calling for 50″ [of snow] this past season? Yeah…”
