    I doubt it, England had plenty of days this month where the temperatures often exceeded 23C to 25C especially in the south-east. Here it was more like 16C to 21C which is still alright for September.

    According the the farming weather forcast on RTE today, it was the warmest Sept here since the 1860s between 2 and 3 degrees above the norm.

    To meteorologists 'normal' is the statistical average. Year to year variations above or below the average certainly spans that type of range. I didn't hear the statement, but it sounds rather odd. Also, hardly any of our records go back to the 1860s, so it is much too much of a generalisation in any case.

    I heard this too, he definitely said the warmest recorded and that you would have to go back to 18-something to get a warmer one. couldnt find any stats on the web though
