September was very warm compared to historical averages. It was also very dry, unless you were in the Muskegon area. It was the seventh warmest September on record at Grand Rapids. That ranking is notable but not a top-three warmest September. Lansing, Muskegon and Kalamazoo also crept into the top-10 warmest Septembers at each location. It was a warm September, but not warm enough to say it felt totally like an August.
