More impressively if we reach 80 on Monday it will likely be the 19th 80 degree high this September breaking the record of 18 set in 1908.

83 so far today.

For context, at Minneapolis, there have been 45 [of 152] Julys with 19 or fewer 80+ days, being nearly 30% of all historic Julys, and 91 [of 152] Augusts with 19 or fewer 80+ days, being nearly 60% of all historic Augusts. On the low end, July 1992 had only 3 such days and August 1912, 6. In the entire meteorological summer of 1904, there were only 19 such days. And July and August each have an extra day on September. And I get a weenie for calling September the newest summer month.

Prior to 2000, the ratios are even worse. 43 [of 127] Julys, or more than 1/3 of 18th and 19th century Julys. And 79 [of 127] Augusts, or 62.2% of the time.

Sorry but September increasingly holds it own against past Julys and Augusts. Is it breaking down heat records from those months? No. But it is within the historical climatology of those months.

A couple neat records to keep track of,  Madison has broken its record of consecutive days with high temps 65 or above with 140 currently and no end in sight.  The old record was 135 set in 2021.  We will also set our record of consecutive max temps at 60 or above this weekend.

To clarify, that is number of consecutive days with a high of 65F+, not number in total.

We still have managed 30 mph gusts up here. It's just amazing how massive this storm is and how something so far to our south is still impacting weather here.

Correct. I edited my post to clarify it better

The remnants of Helene have arrived today as it merges with a cutoff low. Here's to a long crappy final weekend of September.
