September in Bermuda marks the transition from summer to autumn. Typically, air temperatures range from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s to high 20s Celsius). Ocean temperatures remain warm, generally in the low 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius). While the official hurricane season extends through November, September sees a decrease in hurricane activity compared to August, though the risk is still present.
This period offers a desirable balance for visitors. The heat of summer moderates, providing pleasant conditions for outdoor activities like swimming, boating, and golfing. The slightly reduced risk of hurricanes and generally lower prices compared to peak summer months make September an attractive time to experience the island’s natural beauty and unique culture. Historically, September has represented a shift in the island’s rhythm, as locals prepare for the quieter off-season following the bustling summer months.
