The mid September heatwave of 1926 was very warm with temperatures hitting 32C in London and central France up to the high 30's!

1926 A warm month. 27C as reported on the 10th. Then there was a remarkable late heatwave. North London (Camden) reached 32.2C on the 19th - the latest date on which the magical 90F has been recorded, the latest date in the twentieth century when 30C has been reached, and also the latest date in the twentieth century in the year when that year's highest temperature was attained.

Another exceptionally hot blast of air from the south for later in September, which today would probably fuel the climate change deniers as well.

Likely the second warmest airmass to reach the UK during September in the 20th century, after September 1988. Latest 90f on record in London as well. Max temp maps via Starlings Roost Weather.
