Weather in Rājkot in September

Shoulder season. September is shoulder season in Rājkot — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. Highs average 32.2 °C, lows 23.6 °C, and rain falls on 10 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 10 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 32.2 °C days and 23.6 °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: 27 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest September day reached 40.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 20.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 192 mm — roughly 147% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. September rainfall has ranged from 4 mm to 496 mm across the twenty years measured — a 492 mm spread around an average of 131 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 9.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 79%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How September sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 31.4 °C in August, 32.2 here, 34.2 in October. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: October brings 8 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in September

12.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.6 hours across the month. That is between Rājkot's extremes of 13.5 and 10.8 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 28.5 °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 Rājkot versus nearby

If Rājkot is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Ahmedabad is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain. Surat is the weaker option in September — within a degree on temperature, 8 days more rain.

So: September is a compromise. January is 38 points better and is what Rājkot is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
