Washington DC - Recent September Temperatures and Rainfall

The numbers here describe what the September weather in Washington DC was like for every year since 2010. A series of tables gives September data by year for temperature and precipitation.

They begin with average maximum and minimum temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius. That's followed by how many really hot days occurred each September. Then there's information on how much rain actually landed this month during recent years, as well as how often Washington had wet weather.

The climate data come from weather measurements made at the Reagan National Airport near downtown Washington.
