Good morning. Sorry for the delay in posts to the blog here on Hurricaneville. I was hoping to put something up on Monday night, but after being at work until 7:30 PM, I fell asleep when I got home, and just woke up a little while ago. Anyway, the heatwave continued in New Jersey as well as the rest of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Monday as the final week of Meteorological summer is going out with a sizzle.

Here in South Plainfield, located in Northwestern Middlesex County, it was surprisingly a bit cooler than on Sunday. The mercury climbed to only just a shade under 91 degrees as supposed to the high of near 93 on Sunday. Temperatures are expected to remain the same over the next several days as strong high pressure will continue to dominate the weather in our region. Taking a look at some of the temperatures around the region today, here’s what we had:

Regional Temperatures

• Somerville, NJ–93.9 degrees
• Newark, NJ–93.9 degrees
• Morristown, NJ–90 degrees
• Central Park (NYC)–91.9 degrees

• Philadelphia, PA–97 degrees
