THERE ARE ONLY 33 YEARS OF DATA AT KOAX, BUT 2026 EASILY STICKS OUT AS ANOMALOUS.
TWO YEARS AFTER OUR DRIEST SEPTEMBER (2024: 0.51"), SEPTEMBER 2026 WAS EASILY
THE WETTEST ON RECORD AT 11.85". IT WAS SECOND WARMEST ON RECORD, 0.6 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE OF 2019. THE MONTH STARTED OFF WITH FIVE
CONSECUTIVE NEW WARM MINIMUM TEMPS (SEPT 1-5). ONLY ONE NIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE
MONTH WAS COLDER THAN NORMAL! SEPTEMBER SECOND SET A NEW HIGH TEMP RECORD AT
96 AND SEPTEMBER 18TH SET A NEW RECORD HIGH OF 94, SMASHING THE STANDING
RECORD OF 91F SET IN 2023.
