Question Hi! I am trying to plan a ceremony on the beach in Belmar NJ on October 3rd 2008. I wondered if you could give me any information about a possible temp. range and if there might rainy. Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Answer On October 3rd, the normal high temperature is about 70 degrees, and the normal low is about 56. Temperatures at that time of year can be as high as 85-90, and as low as 40. Barring any tropical storms or hurricanes, early October is a relatively dry time of year, and it rains about once every 4 days.
