It was the driest autumn on record at the Jersey Shore

Atlantic City International Airport and the Sen. Frank S. Farley State Marina in Atlantic City had their driest autumns on record, while Atlantic City’s weather just did something never seen before in its long history.

With the climatological autumn (September to November) in the rearview mirror, it was what we thought it would be – historically dry, the National Weather Service has now confirmed.

Atlantic City International Airport reported 2.94 inches of precipitation, beating (showing less precipitation than) the previous dry record of 3.34 inches, set in 2001. On the beachside, Atlantic City reported even less precipitation. The 2.19-inch mark was below the previous record of 2.89 inches set in 1941.  The airport mark was 27% of the average climatological autumn precipitation. The marina was 20%.

It was more than just the driest climatological fall in Atlantic City, though.
