What to do
in New York
Summer is coming to an end and autumn is approaching. The temperature is ideal inviting you to enjoy the streets and parks more than ever. In addition, the high season is behind you, so in many places and visits it will be more comfortable than at other times.
If you really want to know what New York's weather will be like in September 2023, don't hesitate and come with us to check it out.
Even though summer is ending, September in New York is a still warm month, with an average temperature of 20º C but with some days nearer to or exceeding 30º C. Minimum temperatures are mild, about 16º C on average. There are also about 9 days of rain on average, but this is usual in the Big Apple at any time of the year.
If that's too warm for you, New York in Christmas 2022 or New York in spring 2023 might suit you better. If, on the other hand, you like really warm weather, New York in the summer of 2023 is for you.
Summer's over and autumn's beginning and as we have already mentioned, temperatures are usually mild. However, this doesn't mean that we won't have any cooler days or the occasional shower so we have to be prepared for that eventuality.
TAKE ME TO NEW YORK
IN SEPTEMBER 2023
Here are our recommendations for what to pack.
Light loose fitting cotton and breathable clothing, short and long sleeved T-shirts, tops, short trousers or shorts and skirts.
Short and long sleeved vests.
A light sweater or cardigan
A light weight jacket. It doesn't have to be a coat, but you'll probably need more than just a denim jacket.
Enclosed waterproof shoes.You could get caught in an unexpected storm or rain shower! Ideally, take some light trekking boots but if you don't have any, trainers would be fine. It's best to take two pairs so if you get wet you have a spare pair.
Sunscreen.
Hat, cap, visor or whatever you wear to cover your head.
Sunglasses.
The best way to dress for this sort of climate is in layers. If you take a backpack you can put in and take out clothes as you need them including when you are in any closed or indoor place like a museum or the metro.
We are confident in making these recommendations because our guides travel with you which means they have first-hand experience of what is needed during the month of September in New York.
