What September feels like
September rain arrives in serious quantity but in fewer sittings, so days are often bright right up until the sky opens. It is the deepest part of hurricane season, which is why the rates drop and the locals reclaim the beach.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. about 9 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 83° — bath-warm.
