Abstract September can be a month of ‘Indian summer’, where the temperatures can sometimes match those of July and August. However, September may also be a month of transition from summer to autumn, and calm periods may alternate with stormy, wet weather as the North Atlantic circulation begins its winter spin-up. September’s mean air temperature is 13.3 °C. This chapter examines the long-term records (averages and extremes) of temperature, precipitation, sunshine, barometric pressure, wind direction and speed, and fog at Durham during the month of September. The chapter includes descriptive accounts and local photographs of notable weather events during the month.
