Days reach 25°C about 53% of the time: expect comfortable holiday warmth rather than assuming every afternoon will be hot.

Good swimming weather, with little need to plan around rain

The sea is a strong reason to choose September. At an average 22.9°C, it falls comfortably into the swimming category, making this a good fit if you prefer spending time in the water to simply sitting beside it. Rain is unlikely to dictate your plans: average monthly rainfall is just 3.0 mm, though that is not a promise of entirely dry weather. Sunshine averages 7.6 hours within 12.2 hours of daylight, so allow for time without direct sun rather than expecting clear skies throughout. There is plenty of daylight to spread outdoor plans across the day, without making the warmest part of the afternoon your busiest.
