WEATHER CONDITIONS
In Viana do Castelo, the weather in September is generally pleasant and moderate. The average temperature ranges between 15°C and 25°C. September marks the transition from summer to autumn, so the days are still relatively warm and sunny, with a gradual cooling off as the month progresses.
Although there may be some rainy days, they are typically sparse. The weather is ideal for outdoor activities, making the most of the last few weeks of warmer weather before autumn fully sets in.
