Weather in Évora in September

Prime time. September is about as good as Évora gets. Highs average 30.2 °C, lows 15.2 °C, and rain falls on 4 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

September ranks 5 of 12 in Évora: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 4 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 30.2 °C days and 15.2 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 16 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day swings 15.1 °C from low to high, which means one bag has to cover both. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest September day reached 42.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 9.2 °C.

This is the volatile part. September rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 92 mm across the twenty years measured — a 92 mm spread around an average of 28 mm. The average is real but almost no individual September looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 8.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 58%.

How September sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 4.1 °C cooler than August, with October dropping another 6 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip. Rain is the thing that moves: October brings 6 days more of it, so the earlier half of a flexible trip is the safer half.

Daylight in September

12.5 hours of daylight, losing 1.2 hours across the month. That is between Évora's extremes of 14.8 and 9.5 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.1 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage. Within September itself the daily swing is 15.1 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

September in Évora versus nearby

If Évora is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Lisbon is a better bet in September — 7.9 °C cooler, 1 day more rain. Leiria is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: September works, with May the better month by 11 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
