In early September in London, you will likely experience comfortable daytime temperatures near 21-22 C (70 F) with a couple of the warmer afternoons reaching up into the upper 25-26 C (70s F).

Late night and early morning low temperatures tend to average 13-14 C (in the mid-upper 50s F) early in September, falling to 11-12 C (the low-mid 50s F) towards the end of the month. 

A couple of the colder mornings, especially later this month, will dip down to 8-9 C (into the mid-upper 40sF).


HOW MUCH RAIN AND SUN?

Skies will be clear or at least partly sunny on 14-16 days this month offering ample time to explore London on foot. 

About 15 days during September will record some rain, however, only 7-8 days will record at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) or more.

Daylight averages about 13.5 hours early in September but falls quickly to about 11.7 hours near the end of the month.

WHAT TO WEAR

During the warmer days, a light sweater or windbreaker may be all you need for the early morning or late nights.

However, as the weather turns cooler later in the month, a lightweight jacket and or windbreaker will also be needed during the afternoons.
