September is typically the month for sunshine, although this year may be a little different with the wet and cooler weather pattern we are stuck in.
September on average has more sunny days than any other month along the Front Range. This can make for a very comfortable weather pattern in most years.
Summer temperatures have been known to hold on through the end of the month. In fact, all the record highs for the first half of the month are in the 90s. And the record high for the month is 97 degrees last hit on the 1st and 4th of 1995.
September can get cold in a hurry, too. Denver's earliest freeze happened on the 8th in 1962. The earliest snow on record is Sept. 3, 1961.
Last September (2008) we had no snow measured in Denver. That was the eighth September in a row without measurable snowfall.
With a strong El Nino going on of the coast of South America, our odds of an early fall may be getting better.
