Weather in Jaipur in September

Shoulder season. September sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. Highs average 33.8 °C, lows 22.6 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

September ranks 7 of 12 in Jaipur: past the worst of the year but short of January, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 33.8 °C days and 22.6 °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: 11 days clear 35 °C, so a serious heatwave is normal rather than notable. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest September day reached 41.5 °C and the coldest night fell to 17.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 33 mm — roughly 52% of the month's rain in one day.

September is moderately variable: 6 mm in the driest year against 178 mm in the wettest, around an average of 63 mm. Roughly two Septembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 7.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 64%.

How September sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 33.2 °C in August, 33.8 here, 33.7 in October. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: October brings 7 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in September

12.4 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Jaipur's extremes of 13.8 and 10.5 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 33.8 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Quiet. Few other visitors, cheaper rooms, and a real chance some seasonal operators are shut.

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

September in Jaipur versus nearby

If Jaipur is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Kota is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 3 days more rain. Agra is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain.

So: September is a compromise. January is 46 points better and is what Jaipur is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
