Oh, Eees Sooo Hot . . .

The best thing about Jennifer 8. Lee’s story about what may be the hottest September on record is the retro-sounding headline, “Just Try to Remember So Warm a September,” which sounds like a freakin’ Jimmy Walker song. Still, it’s important to stay focused on the fact that it has been hot this month:

Air-conditioners are still blasting. Rooftop bars are still bustling well into the night. Women are still wearing flip-flops and tank tops. Coco Helado street vendors are still scooping with gusto.

The symbolic end-of-the-summer Labor Day weekend passed more than two weeks ago, but as of Monday, the average temperature for September was 75.4 degrees, about 6 degrees above average, according to the National Weather Service. The warmest September on record was in 1961, with an average of 73.6 degrees for the entire month. In particular, the evenings have been about 10 to 15 degrees hotter than normal, said Alan Reppert, a meteorologist with AccuWeather, a private forecasting company. If this trend continues, this September could end up being the record holder, he said.

Ice cream sales are up . . . folks are still getting tanked in garden bars . . . women in flip-flops are still getting their toes stomped on . . . and that all-important summer-economic indicator: Coco Helado vendors are still scooping with gusto! (Go, Jennifer 8. Lee, go!)

That said, seditious talk like this should be stopped. Like now. Idiots:

Brooklyn Industries has introduced down coats and vests in its stores, anticipating an eventual change of seasons.

“It’s the eternal Indian summer,” said Lexy Funk, one of the co-owners. “Right now we are waiting for cool weather. We want to sell our down coats. We’re dreaming of snow.”

Speak for yourself, Jackson!
