Amalfi Coast in September: Weather, Crowds & What's Open
September is one of the best shoulder months on the Amalfi Coast: warm, with the sea at its warmest after the summer, easing crowds once the August peak passes, and most services still fully open. Early September feels like a calmer continuation of summer.

What the weather is like in September
September is warm and generally settled, with hot, sunny days easing into pleasant evenings. The sea has been heated all summer and is at its warmest of the year, so swimming is comfortable. Rain becomes a little more likely late in the month as autumn approaches, but early September is often reliably fine.
| Avg high | Avg low | Sea | Rainy days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26°C | 18°C | 25°C | ~5 |
These are approximate long-term norms, not a forecast. Check a live forecast — for example Meteo Aeronautica Militare — close to travel, and ISPRA's climate resources for historical records.
Crowds and prices
Crowds ease noticeably once the August peak passes, and prices come down from their summer highs, while the towns, beaches and restaurants remain fully alive. For warm weather with a calmer atmosphere, September is a favourite — early in the month is busier, late September quieter.
What is open, and transport
Nearly everything is still operating in September — ferries, beach clubs, boat tours and restaurants — before services begin to wind down in late October. SITA Sud buses run year-round. Confirm current timetables with the operators (Travelmar, SITA Sud) for your exact dates.
Driving and parking
Traffic eases through September from the summer peak, making the coastal road more relaxed. Town centres remain limited-traffic zones (ZTL); see the driving guide. If you bring a car, Villa Mansi has free private parking on site.
What to do in September
September is ideal for both the sea and the trails: swim in the warm water, then enjoy the coastal trails and the Path of the Gods in gentler heat. Add gardens, food and towns via things to do in Ravello.
What to pack
Summer clothes for warm days, a light layer for the evenings, swimwear for the warm sea, sun protection, and comfortable non-slip shoes for steps and trails. See the packing guide.
