September in Truro ...
The last month of summer, but for many the best...turning left on Rt 6 or going to the PO is no longer a harrowing experience, and it's much easier to get a tee-time at the Links.
Although we lose almost 3 minutes of sunlight per day, our warm surrounding waters keep our average air temperatures from dropping not more than 6°F.
According to past records, we expect average lows of 55°F and highs of 70°F. Great weather for plant growth! We traditionally get a total of 2.8 inches of rain (about the same as August).
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
