1,000 High Temperature Records Fall In September Across The US - NOAA/NCDC

[hatrack]

ASHEVILLE - Temperatures in September 2007 were the eighth warmest on record, hot enough to break 1,000 daily high records across the United States, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center.

The heat also helped spread the worsening drought to almost half of the contiguous U.S., with conditions across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Tennessee Valley hardest hit. The global surface temperature was the fifth warmest on record for September, and the extent of Arctic Sea ice reached its lowest amount in September since satellite measurements began in 1979, shattering the previous record low set in 2005.

EDIT

A high temperature reading of 74 degrees was recorded on Sept. 25 breaking the daily high temperature record of 71 degrees set in 1961 and 73 degrees recorded on Sept. 26 broke the previous daily record of 71 set in 1958 and tied in 1993 and 1998.

A daily high temperature record was tied Sept. 27. A temperature of 70 degrees matched the original record set in 1986.
