September was a month of some wild temperature swings. High temperatures in the Twin Cities ranged from 94 degrees on September 7 and September 9 to a chilly high of 64 degrees on September 21. We had 6 days with highs in the 60s and 14 days with highs in the 70s. We also saw 7 days with highs in the 80s and 3 days with highs in the 90s. For the entire month, we came in about 5 degrees above normal.
Looking ahead, the October outlook from the Climate Prediction Center of the National Weather Service shows a tendency for above-normal temperatures over Minnesota and Wisconsin :
The outlook doesn’t mean that you should expect above-normal temperatures every day…it is the average temp for the entire month that shows a tendency to come in warmer than normal. In case you’re wondering, our average high in the Twin Cities is 65 on October 1, dropping to 51 by October 31. Hope you have a great month!
