New Jersey & Virginia The Record MILEPOST 1053

16 counties set all-time record highs in July 4–5

Across New Jersey, Virginia, the highest readings in each county's series since 1951. The warmest was Fluvanna, Virginia, at 105.0°F.

Between July 4 and July 5, 2026, 16 counties across 2 states recorded the highest value in their county series, which begins in 1951. The series is NOAA/NCEI nClimGrid-Daily, a gridded county-area average — so these are areal extremes, not single-station readings, and they are not directly comparable to a co-op station's record book.
