Knowing that my country (Sweden) has never recorded a September temperature above 29.1 C/84.4 F ... Can anyone find a place at above 30 C north of 61.51 N?
At the rate climate change is going (especially with the Arctic amplification effect) in a few years these sorts of records will be commonplace.

I have sincere doubts about whether there will be 30 C in September in Sweden during my lifetime.
Sun angles are extremely low and low-pressure maritime systems are ultra-strong from August 28 onwards. You can almost set the clock on those.
A normal September sees maybe a 25 C day in Sweden, but above 27 C is extremely rare and would only come after a heat wave it seems.
Also I believe recent warming has been amplified by high solar activity, it's not like humans have warmed the climate 4 C from 1700's normals already. Once the sun cools down I believe we're back to 1971-2000 normals.
If you look at a similar climate to ours (coastal Nova Scotia) sun angles are much higher this time of the year, amplifying extremes. Our latitude and maritime influence combined have to be taken into account...
I believe the November records are something that will continue to be broken though.
This year it's likely to be 25.2 set in a minor station near Stockholm on the 7th. Also there could be maybe 0.2 C difference between these figures and the real extreme due to smaller stations not mentioned...
As seen above it is nowhere near 30 C Not a single 27 C day for 11 years in spite of some southern stations having highs of 18 C on average is also spectacular. The 26.7 in Hudiksvall on the 22th (61.44 N sun angle around 28 degrees) is quite impressive though.
Another notable 30°C+ reading is the 31.2°C in St Girons, France back in February 1960. 38° sun angle though.
One has to wonder whether the local weatherman rigged it though given that the April record is 29 C and the January one at 22 C...
