I know for the millions who live in the Southwestern Desert cities September is eagerly awaited as normally this is when cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Yuma, Tucson…etc fall below 100 F/37 C. According to the WC, AccuWeather, and even NOAA, the forecast shows no more 100 F days at least for 8 days.
Here is todays expected highs - Phoenix will just make 90 F, Yuma and Palm Springs will not make it higher than even 95 F today.
According to NOAA 1981-2010 averages, Phoenix max temp drops below 100F on Sept 18th, and drops below 90F on October 14th. So, average is usually around one more week of 100F, and another month of 90F plus temps.

Some variation is normal in places like that, so if sub-100F days pop up before September 18 it shouldn't be a surprise. However, temperatures are usually rather stable in that region. Also, staying below 100F for 8 consecutive days isn't exactly normal.

Overall it looks very pleasant throughout most of the US.
It looks like it's still pretty hot to me. Look at that humongous area of 80F+ temperatures this late into the season, and it's not as if it's a hot spike either - it's going to be rather typical for the next week or so. The only pleasant spots (for me) are the immediate West Coast, Montana, Colorado, and Minnesota.
I checked Medford, OR this morning...the high yesterday was only 86 F...so perhaps that forecast high the WC had for Medford was off by about 10 F. They likely made a digit mistake (they put in 98 F insted of 88 F)).

I think you might have your days mixed up. Today is Wednesday (now forecasted to reach 96 F).
The PNW may be maritime, but boy is it diff from NW Europe. I wonder if you can get weather like than in the UK or Paris in the middle of September.
