HOUSTON<\/strong> \u2013 September is finally here! Football is back, stores are decked out for Halloween, and our weather will start to change! Here\u2019s what we can expect to see this month.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re seeking out cooler weather, we do expect a gradual cooling in September. Our average high drops to 88\u00b0 by the end of the month. Our average low drops to 67\u00b0 – thank goodness!<\/p>\n

The hottest we’ve ever been in September was 109\u00b0 and the coolest was 45\u00b0! That’s a 64\u00b0 range! (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

The Climate Prediction Center puts out monthly outlooks, and for September, we are expected to be around average. While usually I don\u2019t love being average, in this case, it\u2019s great! The high plains are expected to be warmer than average. <\/p>\n

September Temperature Outlook<\/p>\n

Here in Houston, we are not guaranteed to see any crisp fall weather this month. Last year, our monthly high mean temperature was 92.9\u00b0, which is several degrees above average. As a reminder, our latest 100\u00b0 day was September 27th after Hurricane Rita. Sheesh!<\/p>\n

Throughout the month, you will start to notice our sunsets getting much earlier. By the end of the month, sunset is at 7:07 p.m., which means we will have lost about 51 minutes of daylight.<\/p>\n

The full moon this month falls on September 7th. This moon is called the \u201ccorn moon\u201d because this time of year corresponds with the harvest for many Native American tribes. <\/p>\n

The Autumnal Equinox is the astronomical start to fall! This year it falls on Monday, September 22nd at 1:19 p.m., which is when the sun is directly above the equator.<\/p>\n

Another trait of September is hurricanes. The peak of hurricane season is just around the corner. The statistical peak is on September 10th. This does not mean we will have a tropical system on that day (and we\u2019re not forecasting it), but it is the day we are most likely to have a named storm in the Atlantic Basin.<\/p>\n

The peak tropical season is September 10th. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful September!<\/p>\n
