What September feels like

The historic peak of storm season, which is why September here comes with a habit rather than a mood: you check the tropics, you keep a plan, you go about your week. The heat holds all month and the first front is still weeks out.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 18 afternoons top 90°.
