The long view

Delta weather in September

The record

September is when the valley lets go of summer, a few degrees at a time. Normal for September here is a high near 80 and a low near 51, with about 1.0 inches of precipitation. Tonight's forecast low of 55 is running 2 degrees below the normal 57.

Orchards and hay ground fill a low valley here, so the growing season is long and the irrigation call runs all summer. Through 3 days of September, the warmest afternoon has been 88° and the coolest morning 58°. The month is averaging 4.8 degrees warmer than the thirty year normal.

When it rains in Delta

September normally brings 1.0 inches of precipitation. So far this month 1 day has measured precipitation, 0.0 inches in total. 3 of the next seven days carry a chance of 30 percent or better.
