The extreme northwest and mountainous regions of the state fall mainly under the Dfb classification.[1] New Jersey's climate is vastly affected by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean which provides moisture and moderates temperatures.[2] TemperatureTemperatures are usually coolest in the northwestern part of the state and warmest in the southern part of the state. The temperature difference is greatest in the winter and the least in the summer. All parts of the state have recorded temperatures below 0 degrees and in excess of 100 degrees. The average number of freeze free days ranges from 163 days in the highlands to 217 along the coast.[3] The highest recorded temperature in the state of New Jersey was 110° on July 10, 1936 in Runyon and the lowest was -34°F in River Vale on January 5, 1904.

The driest season is usually autumn which has an average of 8 days per month with measurable precipitation. During other seasons the average month has between 9 and 12 days of precipitation. Most areas receive between 25-30 thunderstorms a year. While tornadoes are possible, they tend to be rare and weak. There are usually about 5 tornadoes reported each year statewide.[3] The greatest 24-hour rainfall was 14.81 inches which occurred in Tuckerton on August 19 - 20, 1939[4] SnowfallSnow typically occurs between November 5- April 30 in the highlands and November 15-April 15 in the southern part of the state.
