When are nor’easters most common in New Jersey?

Nor’easters can occur throughout the year, but New Jersey identifies them as primarily a risk between September and April.

This makes fall, winter, and early spring important periods for property owners to prepare for potential storm damage.

A nor’easter can combine strong winds with rain, snow, coastal flooding, and freezing conditions. After a major storm, homeowners should inspect their roofs, basements, windows, gutters, exterior walls, and other vulnerable areas for signs of damage or moisture intrusion.
