August vs September
wrote:
It seems to the ordinary person as though September has been warmer and
sunnier than August. Is there any possibility of this being the case, and
if so when did it last happen?

No ordinary people here, Mark, so we can't really say.
Seriously, September will certainly turn out to be warmer than August,
at least here in Surrey. The mean temperature for August was 16.2°C
and September is currently running at 17.5°C. This has not occurred
before in my 23-yr record.
In the Central England Temperature series the only occasions
back to 1800 when September has been warmer than August have been 1956
(0.8°), 1890 (0.5°) and 1865 (1.2°). In 1985 the temperatures were
the same. This will probably turn out to be the warmest September in
the entire series back to 1659.
