79° on Nov. 16, 1993, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1874. Next is 78° in 1973.
Hazlet’s center stands about 80 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 360 ft, a difference of 360 ft: rolling country. Open water lies within three miles. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Todt Hill, about 460 ft, 14 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Englishtown Formation (sand, clay), from the Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old.
The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 64×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand, clay. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Clay, silt. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Late Cretaceous, 72 to 84 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Hazlet reaches New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean by way of East Creek: about 2 river miles.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Hazlet; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Hazlet has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 87° in July; winter nights fall to about 23° in January. About 49 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
On November 14 Hazlet normally reaches 57° and falls to 36°. The record high is 76°, in 1993; the record low 20°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 0.85 in, fell in 2008.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1874 at Freehold-Marlboro, 8 miles south-southwest, 110 ft higher. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
