In this blog, I'll recount the records, near records and significantly abnormal temperatures of 2007, starting with December 31st and looking back to January 1st. This post covers September 2007.
September 25: high of 85, low of 63...mean of 74 was 13 above normal...it was the second warmest September 25th of the past 29 years...warmest still remains 1986's high of 88 and low of 68 (17 above normal).
September 24: the first 90s high of the past 30 years...a near-record 90 degrees (one degree short of the record of 91 set way back in 1891)...it was only the fourth 60s low and also the warmest low of the past 30 years (68 degrees)...the mean of 79 is 18 degrees above normal, so this was also the warmest 24th of September of the past 29 years.
September 23: the high of 84 degrees was only the third 80s high of the past 29 years and was second warmest (it was 85 degrees in 2004).
September 21: high of 88, low of 64, mean of 76 (14 degrees above normal)...was the hottest 9/21 of the past 29 years...beat out 1980's high of 79 and low of 69.
September 15: the coolest of the past 29 years...the high of 61 beat three highs of 62 (1983, 1984 and 2000)...the low of 39 was a new record low, breaking 40 degrees in 1985...the mean was 50 (14 degrees below normal)...the previous coolest day was in 1984 when the mean was 51.5 (12.5 below normal).
September 12: although the mean was not 12 degrees or more below normal, still it was the second coolest day of the past 29 years...the mean was 56.5 degrees (high of 67, low of 46)...back in 1985 the mean was 56 degrees (66/46)...only the fourth 60s high and fifth 40s low of the past 29 years.
September 7: only the second 70s low of the 29 years...low of 70...even warmer was the low of 73 in 1985...record warmest low is 78, set in 1922.
September 6: only the fourth 70s low of the 29 years...low of 73...would've been the warmest of the past 29 years had the low not also been 73 in 1985...the record warmest low of 78 still stands, occurring way back in 1881.
