September in Sorrento offers a transition from the intense summer heat to a milder, more comfortable climate. Typically, daytime temperatures range from the low to mid-70s Fahrenheit (low to mid-20s Celsius), creating pleasant conditions for exploring the town and surrounding areas. Sea temperatures remain warm enough for swimming, and the decreased humidity makes outdoor activities more enjoyable. Rainfall is possible but generally less frequent than in the later autumn and winter months.
This period presents an ideal balance for visitors. The slightly cooler temperatures make sightseeing, hiking, and exploring the Amalfi Coast more comfortable. The sea remains inviting, extending the beach season. Furthermore, the post-peak season often sees fewer crowds and potentially more favorable accommodation rates, enhancing the overall experience. Historically, September has marked the return to a more local pace of life after the bustling summer months, allowing visitors to glimpse a more authentic side of Sorrento.
