What September feels like
The Great Reno Balloon Race launches before sunrise at Rancho San Rafael and half the city drives out in the dark for it. This is the month that makes people move here: still air, cool mornings, and the smoke usually gone.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
