Remarks
-------
An exceptionally warm month, the second warmest month of the year. Only June
was warmer this year. It was the warmest September in my record going back to
1991. The maximum of 29.7C on the 6th was the hottest September day in that
same period, just beating the maximum of 29.6C on 7th Sep 2021. It seems that
the planet we used to live on no longer exists. Adapting to our new planet will
be a very painful experience and may prove to be impossible for the human race
to achieve. Very worrying times.
