Warm enough for summer clothes, with a layer for evenings

Expect warmth rather than relentless heat. Days reach 25°C on 44% of occasions, while 30°C is much less common, so September suits travellers who find hotter conditions tiring. Light clothes make sense during the day, though sunshine can still feel strong around midday; keep shade breaks in your plans when it feels hot. The average night low is 18.8°C, which suggests generally mild nights rather than dependable heat after dark. Cooler nights can fall to 15.3°C or below, so a light jumper or jacket is sensible. Pack for a warm holiday, but not as though every evening will be comfortable in short sleeves.

Useful sunshine, but rain needs a backup plan

Budva averages about 7.3 hours of sunshine within 12.3 hours of daylight, leaving plenty of scope for time outdoors. The catch is that September is wet, not simply a reliably dry month with occasional cloud. About 10 rainy days means you should leave room to rearrange swimming and outdoor plans rather than fixing everything in advance. The averages do not tell you how rain will fall during your particular stay, so neither a washout nor an uninterrupted sunny week is something to assume. Bring a waterproof layer and check the forecast before committing to a full day outside. This month works best if sunshine is welcome rather than essential every day.
