Hot enough for summer clothes, with warm evenings

September still feels like a hot-weather holiday rather than an autumn break. Days reach 25°C on 74% of occasions, so light clothing should form the bulk of your packing. With humidity averaging 72%, warmer spells may feel close, and taking a break from walking in the midday heat is sensible. Average night lows of 20.6°C suggest comfortable outdoor evenings in light clothes, though a light layer is useful if you feel the cold. This suits travellers who want dependable warmth more than relentless heat: there is plenty of scope for hot afternoons, but they are not a promise for every day.

Useful sunshine, but leave room for rain

Around 7.2 hours of sunshine within 12.2 hours of daylight gives you a useful window for swimming and outdoor plans. The catch is rain: about 7 days have measurable rainfall, so an entirely dry stay is not something to count on. That does not tell you how long rain will last on any particular day, so avoid assuming it will always be a brief shower. Keep weather-sensitive plans movable and pack a light waterproof rather than relying only on summer clothes. September works well if sunshine is important but occasional disruption is acceptable; it is less suitable if any wet weather would spoil the trip.

The sea is a strong reason to go

For a swimming holiday, the sea is a clear September advantage. Its average temperature of 25.3°C is comfortably in swimming territory, and the year-to-year range of 24°C to 26°C suggests warmth is not confined to unusually hot years. If you dislike the initial chill of cooler water, this is a good month to consider. Sea temperature alone cannot guarantee pleasant conditions on the day, so let local weather and safety advice guide when you swim. Bring swimwear and sun protection, but keep something dry to put on afterwards, particularly if you plan to stay outdoors into the evening.
