September is for the sea: why coastal residents take their summer after the season

Whoever lives on the coast knows the schedule: July and August belong to the guests, September to the locals. The sea then holds its summer warmth, the air no longer scorches, and beaches return to the scale of the town.

The physics of a warm September

Adriatic climatology shows the sea collects heat all summer and is warmest in late August and early September, after the peak of air temperatures.1

At the same time heat waves, which the meteorological service tracks separately, become rarer in September, so the days carry summer sea without summer scorch.2

How daily life changes

Swimming returns to morning and afternoon hours without hunting for towel space, and evenings become fresh enough for a long walk along the riva.1

Locals call this month their summer: the same offer, less waiting, and a sea warmer than in June.1,2

How long it lasts

On the southern Adriatic comfortable swimming can last into mid October, on the northern part the season closes earlier, and the first stronger winds usually decide.1
