Generally speaking, September was unusually warm. September was only slightly cooler than August, although that fact is a bit deceiving. Clearly, the days are shorter, the hot periods of the days are shorter, and the evenings cool down early. In many parts of the state, record high temperatures were recorded at various times in August. There is no official record book for Toquerville, but this September was the warmest in three years. Still, we have enjoyed having our windows open at night for the entire month.
It's interesting to note that on September 27, Zion National Park recorded a temperature of 104 degrees (Toquerville was 91 on that date), and St George had numerous days in the 100s. I have to say, I'm skeptical about the 104 degree temp in Zions National Park, the temperature is difficult to explain since no surrounding areas had temperatures anywhere near 104. Zion tends to be a bit cooler than Toquerville because the high canyon walls shade the canyon, and canyon winds come down from Cedar Mountain and other cool areas causing temperatures to be a little cooler than Toquerville or Hurricane.
