Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to September, or Meteorological Fall. (AKA Sweater Season, Pumpkin Spiced Everything Season, Football Season, you get the idea.)
Yesterday, we talked about the averages for the Month of September. Today, we are going back in time to talk about the Meteorological Summer.
