Corsica in September offers a unique transitional climate. The summer heat begins to subside, giving way to milder temperatures, particularly at night. While sunshine is still abundant, there’s an increased chance of rainfall, especially in the mountainous interior. Sea temperatures remain pleasant, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities. This period represents a shift from the peak summer season to the quieter autumn months.
This time of year presents several advantages for visitors. The decreased crowds allow for a more relaxed experience, with better availability for accommodations and attractions. Outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling become more comfortable in the cooler temperatures. The combination of pleasant weather and fewer tourists makes September an attractive option for experiencing the island’s natural beauty and culture. Historically, September marks the beginning of the grape harvest in Corsica, offering visitors a glimpse into local traditions and the opportunity to sample the new vintage.
