For September 16, most of the AM weather data is obscured by an insert. There is no separate image with the insert moved over to the event page. I transcribed the AM values that were visible. All PM weather was visible.

September is complete. Another month of sitting in the port at Callao, Peru. Another month overcast with mist or drizzle almost the entire month. Another month with no liberty because of the port being quarantined.
