The first 8 days of the month contained 6 of the warmest days, with the other 2 occurring in the last week of September. On most other days the maximum was between 26 and 30 Celsius (79-86F), but there were 4 exceptions. On the 9th, 20th and 30th, maxima were between 25 and 26 Celsius (77-79F), and on the 17th a high of 24.1 Celsius (75F) was recorded, making it the coolest day of the month.
A few warm nights occurred early in the month, and on the 2nd a minimum of 25.4 Celsius (78F) was recorded. Only 3 other nights had minima above 22 Celsius (72F), with all of these warmer nights occurring before the 5th. Values ranged from 22.6 Celsius (73F) on the 3rd, to 23.2 Celsius (74F) on the 1st. A further 12 nights had minima between 20 and 22 Celsius (68-72F), with the last of these warmer nights occurring on the 22nd. Most other nights had lows between 18 and 20 Celsius (64-68F), but there were 3 exceptions. On the 29th a low of 17.7 Celsius (64F) was recorded, and on both the 26th and 30th the temperature dipped to 16.6 Celsius (62F).
The sea temperature was around 24 Celsius (75F) during much of the first week, but for much of the month values fluctuated between 18 and 21 Celsius (64-70F), and on the last few days of September the temperature fell to 15 or 16 celsius (60F).
Rain
There were 1.6 millimetres (0.06 ins.) of rain during September. This was only 6% of the monthly average, but there was a drier September a mere 5 years ago. Measurable rain fell on 2 days, which was 1 day below average. A few spots of rain fell on the morning of the 12th, but not enough to measure. Overnight, and early on the morning of the 13th, a few bursts of light rain occurred and amounted to 0.4 millimetres (0.02 ins.). It then stayed dry until the 29th when evening rain totalled 1.2 millimetres (0.05 ins.)
Thunder
Lightning and distant thunder occurred early on the morning of the 13th.
Wind
The usual combination of northwesterly land breezes and southeasterly afternoon sea breezes occurred on many days, although generally at night winds were very light with the land breeze often non-existent. However, on several afternoons, particularly later in the month, a brisk southwesterly wind temporarily developed, whipping up sand and carrying away parasols. The highest gust recorded during the month was 23 knots (26 mph) on the 29th, but the weather station is sheltered from southwesterly winds, and gusts from that direction were probably considerably higher.
Fog
No fog was observed during the month.
