3 months without widespread rain...
They also haven't had a day below 90 yet
This is the same band the models are hinting at up here

That's wild while we are parched down here. Bet we flip flop this winter...law of averages Mack! (Slosh slosh the tub)Making a run at all time wettest month for Des Moines!!
Brent deserves every single personās sympathy for what he had to experience in September:
Tulsa, OK, was 84.3 F in Sep ā26, which was in addition to being 10.1 warmer than the longterm Sep mean:
- 2.4 warmer than its 2nd warmest Sep
- 1.4 warmer than its longterm mean for July
- warmer than 69% of Julys, 74% of Augusts, and 98% of Junes on record (records back to 1905)
This is pure insanity, folks!
Link to Tulsa data:
Mean max - 86.6
Mean min - 66.1
Max - 96 (9/3, 9/4)
Min - 50 (9/26)
Min Max - 64 (9/24)
Max Min - 75 (9/4)
Rain - 3.67"
Snow - 0.0"
Mean min - 66.1

Not sure on temps since the Tempest crapped out but it was hot as hell. I think we only got 1.8" of rain.
Max: 101.1
Min: 49.6
Avg.: 79.2
Rain: 0.78"
Somehow September 2019 and 2016 were hotter here by 1 and 0.5 degrees respectively, but otherwise way above average.

From Don Sutherlund regarding a new record obliterating hot Sep for TX (this is consistent with Tulsa, where Sep ā26 was >2F hotter than the previous alltime Sep record for Tulsa @Brent)
The September statewide data for Texas is now in. The heat of September 2026 made a mockery of the State's prior monthly record. September 2026 finished with a statewide mean temperature of 84.1Ā°. 2023, the prior record, was left in the distant dust with a relatively cool 81.8Ā°. September 2019 was further back in third with a mean temperature of 81.5Ā°.

I asked Don if he had the same data for OK. Even though I had known about Tulsaās extreme roasting in Sept, I was floored by what Don said as OK was even more extreme than TX:
Oklahoma also destroyed its old record. September 2026: 82.8Ā° (old record: 80.1Ā°, 1931). Virtually all of the state exceeded its prior monthly record.
Look at this map!
So, OK as a whole exceeded its old Sept record by 2.7F!! Thatās truly insane. @Brent did you hear about this?
