Your response might be persuasive if you showed that
the mentioned observation location site has few or no days in
September that equal or exceed the record you posted.

I suspect at least 5 days in September have record
days warmer than that last day of August.

===============================================
For Indio CA, the number of days in September that have record highs
of 116 or higher number 14.
12 of which occurred in the first 15 days. The record being 120
degrees set on the 13th in 1971. (they new real heat in the old days)

1971 wasn't "the old days". :-)

I appreciate Eric posting the temperatures, I watch for
all time records, but even all time records for individual observation
locations don't mean much either, all time highs for states tells a
much bigger story.

Note that all 50 states have an all time record high of 100
or higher, most of the day of year records are way below the all time
record for the state that city is in.

Where I live was the hottest recorded month of August though,
but only one or two local high temperatures for any day of year were
set, and the all time record high for the location was 7 degrees F
higher. When/if I start to see all time records being broken
very often, I will start to worry.
