Record Watch - Early September

It looks like we're in for a few warm days, so lets take a look at some other warm, early-Septembers.

50 Warmest Days

Here are the 50 warmest temperatures (56 days, because there's a tie) for the week of September 4-10, going back to 1880.

Looking at things by decade, so far the 2010s have 8 days in this list, including 4 warm days in 2011. The ties the 1930s and 1940s, and the 2010s still have a few years to go.

The records for this week are all above 30°C, with the exception of the 10th at 28.9°C. The warmest temperature ever recorded during this week of the year was 32.9°C, on September 9, 1981.

September 6th

The forecast for September 6th is 29°C, and that's warm, but it's no threat to the record of 31.1°C set in 1934. It would be about on par with the 28.9°C recorded in 1980.

September 7th

Right now the forecast for September 7th is 33°C, and if that happens it would be enough to break the record of 30.6°C which was set back in 1909. 2003 and 2011 both broke 29°C, but 1909 is the only time September 7th has broken 30°C.

Just about a week ago on August 30 we also had a forecast of 33°C, but that day ended up being really hazy, and didn't actually manage to break 25°C. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.
