The long run of above average months has to end sometime. After the warm week coming it'll go rather wintery and chilly

If you are right coldest September since 86 would certainly be a shocker !!

Not looking like the perfect September for me, as it's looking like a warm and dry month with an extension of summer.  However, cool nights later in the month are likely to prevent it from being up there with the likes of 2006 and 2016.  

I will go for 15.2C and 40mm, please.
