What's the Weather like in La Manga in September
Temperature
Still a very high tourism season in La Manga, September sees temperatures begin to fall just a bit. The average daily temperature this month is 23°C, with lows dropping down to 17°C in cooler evenings and highs reaching up to 29°C on warmer afternoons. This variation makes for a beautiful and still very summery vacation while other places further north are starting to experience cooler weather as autumn approaches.
Rainfall
This busy month has a spike in rainfall from the drier summer months. September averages 32mm of rain over 7 days throughout the month. There is still only a 14 percent chance of a rainy day this month though, so most visitors will find the rain doesn't interrupt any plans too much.
Sunshine Hours
This sunny month has 10 hours of sunshine and a 56 percent chance of a sunny day (and only a 3 percent chance of a cloudy day).
Sea Temperature
Following the hot summer months, September has a nice, warm sea temperature of 24°C on average, which is plenty warm for swimmers of all ages to enjoy the salty, calm waters of the Mar Menor or the slightly cooler waters of the choppier Mediterranean. Many find the warm waters to be soothing, especially when paired with a mud bath with the famous Mar Menor mud.
Wind
The winds stay calm in September, though afternoon winds can blow strongly. There is only a 5 percent chance of a windy day this month. Though with the option between two seas, sports enthusiasts can always find one with the perfect conditions for whichever sport they choose, whether it's windsurfing or kayaking.
The weather this month is very similar to nearby Murcia and the rest of the Murcia region, with warm temperatures and a bit of rainfall.
