No clue how to get sunshine hours. One of the warmest September in memory, but it'd feel that much because a number of extremely hot days boosted up the average. The rest of the days were more mildly warm. 10 days broke 80 degrees, including yesterday. And the first two miserable days went into the mid 90s (mid 30s C). It was extremely dry, almost all the precipitation was from the last week. It has looked like a moderate drought here.
Buxton makes an amusing contrast. While the average maximum was 10°C cooler than here, the coldest temperature of the month was still warmer than here.
Precipitation: 1.71 inches (I think we got a bit more, this station is a bit south of where I live)
After a very bright and sunny August, the month started off quite gloomy with dull overcast conditions for the first 4 days.
This picked up, however, and by month end the stats were a reflection of what is normally expected (bang on sunshine hours, marginally higher average temps, but lower rainfall).
Ironically, October is starting out much the same as September started out

Overall, not a bad September for Vancouver. Precipitation wise, it was a bit of a mixed bag between sunny and rainy days which is to be expected at this time of year as we transition to our rainy/winter season. Temperatures were fairly steady throughout the month and were right around average.
Average High: 76 F (2 F above average)
Average Low: 53 F (4 F above average)
Highest High: 92 F (2nd)
Lowest High: 63 F (12th)
Highest Low: 66 F (3rd)
Lowest Low: 38 F (21st)
Not sure of the precipitation since yesterday's totals seems to vary, but I think we may have been slightly below average.
We were in a drought but I'm sure the 8-10 inches of rain we've received over the past couple days have almost knocked that out. Today (October 1st) we received over 2x worth of October's average precipitation. Forecast looks to be wet and below average over the next week or so.

Seems like your temperatures matched mine again this month, except a degree cooler. Think it was the same the last few months, too. 8-10 inches?! We only got about 3.5, and that seemed like a lot.

Very odd. Last month was right on average for both our locations.
I think part of the reason we received more rain was because I'm farther to the west. I'll have to check the totals since they're unofficial and seem high, but I wouldn't doubt we got several inches. It was heavily raining all night and we had a light to moderate rain a good part of today.
Just checked our rainfall totals compared to what we normally get for September... even though there were many days we didn't get rain in the month, the days it did rain, we got quite a bit. It seems that our 166.4mm is 3 times our normal precip for the month of September of 53.5mm.
September was hot and dry. Though not horribly humid, it still felt Julyish during the afternoons before it all came crashing down during the last week. Guess autumn decided to come early this year.
Looks like much of the south will be very sunny and dry over the next several days. Perhaps some record low temperatures?
Jackson, MS may drop into the low 40s. Houston may drop down to the upper 40s. I think the posters from Texas haven't been on lately because the weather has been so nice.
