The climate of the Mediterranean island of Corsica during the ninth month of the year offers a unique blend of summer warmth and autumnal hints. Typically, days are sunny with pleasantly warm temperatures, while evenings bring a refreshing coolness. Sea temperatures remain inviting for swimming and other water activities. This period represents a transition between the peak summer heat and the cooler, wetter conditions of late autumn and winter.
This time of year presents an advantageous period for visiting the island. The slightly lower temperatures compared to July and August provide more comfortable conditions for hiking and exploring the diverse landscapes, from rugged mountains to picturesque coastal towns. The reduced crowds also contribute to a more relaxed experience. Historically, September has marked the beginning of the grape harvest in Corsica, offering a glimpse into the island’s rich viticultural traditions.
