What to pack

What September feels like

September rain starts backing off in the second half, but this is the month people here keep a phone charger and a case of water in the hall closet. It is also when a beach hotel across the bay costs a fraction of what March asks.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. about 18 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 86° — bath-warm.
