Planalytics Inc., the global leader in Business Weather Intelligence(R), in its September WeatherCall(SM) report said that retailers had a strong, although short-lived, start to the season when wetter and cooler weather increased demand for autumn merchandise during the first ten days of the month. By mid-month this favourable seasonal demand faded as temperatures trended back towards normal and sunny days outnumbered grey ones.
