Jersey Shore summer forecast. Will we have good beach days this summer?
It's been a slow start for summer heat.
Don't worry, it's coming.
The spring has yet to offer up too many great beach days to start the summer of 2025. On days we did see the temperatures rise, we typically also dealt with rain.
Hot, sunny beach days have been few and far between, but things could change.
Quickly.
According to USA Today, June 1 marks the first day of meteorological summer, the kickoff of the three months that typically feel the hottest (although the calendar will technically say it's spring until June 20). According to multiple outlooks, summer 2025 will be a scorcher.
The summer forecast calls for hotter-than-normal temperatures from coast-to-coast, according to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center and other private forecasters.
"Model guidance was overwhelmingly above normal across the U.S. and most of Alaska for the upcoming summer season," Johnna Infanti, meteorologist for NOAA's Climate Prediction Center told USA TODAY via email.
This summer calls for above average temperatures for most of the United States, including New Jersey.
According to accuweather, the first week of June will be dry and warm at the Jersey Shore. After two cool days to start the month, we should be into the upper 80s and creeping into the lower 90s by midweek.
The second week looks cooler, with temperatures falling to reach 80 degrees most days. It will also be wet with rain forecasted for three days.
The last two weeks of the month are fairly similar to the first two. We'll have a few days with high temperatures struggling to reach 80 degrees, but for the most part we'll see high temperatures in the low-80s.
July looks like a perfect month for beach lovers. Accuweather's long-range forecast calls for mostly sunny days with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s.
Bad news is after a June that has a lot of chances for rain, July looks to be much dryer until the last week when there are few chances for rain.
August looks a lot like July. It's going to be a great month for people who enjoy outdoor activities. Temperatures look to stay mostly in the mid-80s with few chances for rain until the end of the month. The last week of summer could be a wet one, but that's after three weeks of mostly sunny skies.
Obviously these forecasts will change, but for now it looks like it's going to be a great weather summer at the Jersey Shore.
