STATION SUMMARY


[line]

UPDATED

KEARNY, NEW JERSEY: Is located on a peninsula formed by the Hackensack River to the east and the Passaic River to the west. These rivers flow into the Newark Bay, located at the southern end of the city of Newark. To the west are ridges oriented roughly in a SSW to NNE direction. They rise to an elevation of about 200 feet at four and one-half to five miles and to 500 to 600 feet at seven to eight miles. All winds between WNW and NNW are downslopes subject to adiabatic temperature increases. This effect is evident in rapid improvements following weather systems. Easterly winds, especially SE, cause an ocean influence on the temperatures. Long periods of very hot weather are associated with a WSW flow of air, which has a long trajectory over land. Extreme cold comes from rapidly moving outbreaks of cold air from the Hudson Bay region. The terrain of the vicinity is hilly with trees and grass. Kearny is 9.33 square miles. The annual temperature is 52F. As for heat waves, temperatures of 100F or greater occur once every three years. However, years such years as 1980, 1995, and 1999 had one or more days.
