Is September 2024 Unusually Hot

I had a feeling this was an unusually hot September. I said this to a few people. They pooh-poohed my idea. Most said they could remember lots of warm Septembers. But this warm? I asked them. ninety-one degrees on September 17th in Kansas? Most of them do not live in Kansas, but they live in the Midwest. They insisted I was exaggerating the hotness of 2024. I finally consulted a weather tracking system. This system stated that this is the hottest September in one hundred and seventy-four years. Do I feel validated? Not really. But I know that I am not crazy now.
