Something in the Air

After beginning in May 2018, the Something in the Air podcast comes to an end here. 

Since 1895, January 2024 was the seventh wettest start to the year on record when it came to precipitation. 

That precipitation came as snow, twice, capturing the affection of South Jersey snow lovers. Specifically, the Jan. 19 snow was another "South Jersey Special". 

In the temperature department, temperatures wound up milder, 2.7 degrees above the average.

After a record to near record snowless winter, a "mild or wild" winter gives hope for everyone this 2023-24 season, no matter how you feel about the cold and snow. 

Judah Cohen, Director of Seasonal Forecast for Verisk AER, says either a quiet, warmer than average winter is in store in the Something in the Air podcast. Or, it could be one where the polar vortex and typical El Nino pattern line up just right for a big snow or two.

It was all about the smoke.

The worst air quality to hit South Jersey in decades came in June, as the Canadian wildfires continue to blow smoke our way for the second month in a row. More than likely, the smoke contributed to June being another below average month. It was the first time in about 15 years that the region had a below average May and June.

On the rain side of things, it was dry. So much so, parts of Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May County slipped back into drought. 

Meteorologist Joe Martucci is joined by his other weather dad, Jim Eberwine, to round up June. With New Jersey State Climatologist Dr. Dave Robinson away in Europe, Joe turned to Jim for his legendary South Jersey weather knowledge. 

Jim is a retired Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly. However, he currently serves as the Emergency Management Coordinator in Absecon, a teacher at multiple South Jersey schools and is the Grand Marshall of the Smithville Fourth of July Parade.
