Hottest Month Streak Ends At 16  

Climate Central reports that September failed to be the hottest September on record by 0.04 degrees - Hottest Months on Record Have Something in Common.

It shows that the month was a scant 0.07°F (0.04°C) below September 2015’s record, making it the second-warmest September on record. That ends a streak of 16 consecutive record-setting hot months in NOAA’s dataset, a record-setting streak itself. The run of planetary heat has rewritten the record books.
