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.
