We continue to rewrite history in Akron.

While Akron did not set any weather milestones this past month, we certainly endured one of the warmest and wettest ever.

With an average overall temperature of 69.8 degrees, the National Weather Service says Akron tied the record for the second warmest September, set way back in 1921.

The top spot still belongs to those hearty souls in 1931, with a 70.3 degree average. Four of the Top 5 warmest Septembers have occurred in the last four years, with 2015 coming in at No. 3 and 2016 at No. 4.

Thanks to an uninvited visit from a fella by the name of Gordon, Akron had its sixth wettest September on record, bumping 2016 down a spot. Some 7.26 inches of rain fell last month, a far cry from the all-time record of 11.98 inches of rain in 1926.

This all comes on the heels of Akronites sweating through the second hottest meteorological summer — defined by weather folks as June to August — since such records were first collected here in 1887.

A rainy Tuesday thanks to a cold front front will usher in a cloudy Wednesday with a chance of storms returning Thursday.

Forecasters say the chance for showers will hang around through Saturday morning.
