What you gain in September
- ↑Festival of Sant'Andrea (27 September): the second celebration of Amalfi's patron saint — fireworks, processions, and the waterfront fully alive
- ↑Sea still 24°C: summer swimming conditions without August's crowds — the coves and beaches genuinely accessible again
- ↑Prices falling 25–35% from August peak while weather barely changes: the best value of any warm month on the coast
What you sacrifice
- ↓60mm of rainfall starting to return: some grey days and occasional afternoon showers — the coast's dramatic autumn storms can arrive from mid-September
- ↓The Ravello Festival winding down: last performances in early September, closing before the month ends
- ↓Shorter days: the long July–August evenings are shortening, with sunset around 7:30pm by month's end
