Weather in September 2017

[MeteoTwischkamp]

Here in Northern Germany, we had a friendly start into the month, with a high of 19.1°C (66.5°F) and almost 8 hours of sunshine. Now @01:30 AM still mostly clear outside, but there is shower cell to the North of me, so we might get wet here within the next hour.

Here it was around 17-18 degrees, same today. It is overcast and drizzeling at times. Some of you might have noticed my station offline yesterday for several hours. This happens whenever the station gets wet. Once the contacts dry it starts sending data again, so in the winter it might be offline for most of the time if we have snow .

Here in Seattle, WA, USA, we've had some very interesting weather (so to speak) this summer and continuing early this week: smoke. There are loads of wildfires in the mountains to our east, and whenever we have a stagnant weather pattern under high pressure, we get an influx of smoke from those fires to go along with near-90º temperatures (32º C). Here's my latest short blog post about it. And if you look through the rest of my blog, that's what a lot of the posts are about...

That can't be good!

It has been a cold, but otherwise ok summer in Denmark this year.
Here a snapshot from meteotemplate visualizing the season (radial graphs).

Never reached 25 C, most of the time below 20 C.
Hoping there will be an Indian summer in september.

We had some indian-summer-like days, the past week with sunshine everyday and highs up to 23°C here.
But now it looks like that the first signs of autumn are knocking on the door, a cold front is currently coming in with high winds and rain.
The temperature has dropped from about 18 to now 15°C in the last hour and this was accompanied by a wind gust of 49 km/h at my station. Autumn is usually a windy and rainy season here at the North Sea coast, so it fits the bill.

Now that September is over here (currently 2:45 AM), lets take a little (data) review.

Average temperature: 14.0°C (57°F)
Highest temperature: 22.8°C (73°F) on Sep 4th
Lowest temperature: 6.0°C (43°F) on Sep 17th

Precipitation: 124.2 mm (4.89 inches)
Days with precipitation: 18
Wettest day: 30.0 mm (1.18 inches) on Sep 30th

Sunshine hours (for this i take the data of the DWD weather station which has a sunshine recorder): 117.4 hours
Sunniest day: 11.7 hours on Sep 2nd

The most exciting weather evening here was the storm "Sebastian" that has caused a storm tide here on the evening of September 13th.
Fortunately only the dike defense path was a little flooded (and this happens quite often here whenever there is a stronger storm)so people took it lightly, some were even crazy enough to cycle while the waves were hitting.


Also our city beach was partly flooded


And this is how the city beach looked like just a week after on a calm and sunny 20°C day.


Best Regards from Northern Germany
