Guernsey was 2.6 degrees hotter than normal last month, according to the Met.
Temperatures peaked on 9 September, when it reached 29.5°Celsius.
That was the second hottest September day ever recorded on the island, which undoubtedly contributed to the monthly average temperature reaching 18.3°Celsius.
