Nova Scotia in September offers a transition from summer’s warmth to autumn’s crispness. Temperatures typically range from daytime highs around 17-20C (63-68F) to overnight lows of 8-12C (46-54F). Coastal areas may experience cooler temperatures due to ocean currents, while inland regions can see warmer days and cooler nights. Rainfall averages around 100mm throughout the month, spread relatively evenly across several days.
This time of year presents an ideal balance for outdoor activities. The pleasant temperatures are conducive to hiking, cycling, and exploring the province’s natural beauty. Crowds thin out after the summer rush, offering a more tranquil experience. The changing foliage begins its vibrant display, adding another layer of beauty to the landscape. Historically, September marked the beginning of the harvest season, a time of abundance and community celebration. This cultural legacy is still felt today, with farmers’ markets overflowing with fresh produce.
