Ahh, September, sometimes it's my favorite month...but not this year.
The past 23 days, the weather has been extremely erratic. We began the month with some of the hottest weather of the year (including the two hottest days of the year). That was followed by a beautiful stretch of weather with high temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. That, in turn, was followed by this past week, with temperatures that started at 5 degrees Celsius above normal. To make things even better, the weatherman tells us that it's going to be above 30 two of the next three days. Yipee.
What the hell happened to autumn? If this is global warming (and it is), I don't want any part of it. If anything, the past four years have told me that it's time to start plotting a move even farther north. (I can dream, but it'll never happen)
Through A.D. 2007 September 23, there have been 30 days with high temperatures at or above 30 degrees Celsius. (A.H.S. Heat Zone 05)
By the way, we're also having a pretty dry September. So far, we've received about 60 millimeters (2.36 inches) of precipitation. That's only about half of normal, and it's been exacerbated by the warm temperatures.
