77° on Nov. 15, 1993, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1948. Next is 72° in 2001.
Hewlett Bay Park’s center stands about 30 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 0 ft to 50 ft, a difference of 50 ft: nearly flat ground. Open water lies within three miles. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Harbor Hill, about 380 ft, 12 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Monmouth Group, Matawan Group and Magothy Formation (clay, sand, gravel), from the Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old.
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.
Clay, sand, gravel. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 14 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

Hewlett Bay Park has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 84° in July; winter nights fall to about 26° in January. A normal year brings about 26 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 43 inches of water.
On November 14 Hewlett Bay Park normally reaches 54° and falls to 40°. The record high is 68°, in 2005; the record low 24°, in 2019. The most rain on this date, 1.91 in, fell in 1972.
