Perfect weather is subjective. On this map perfect weather has been defined with temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 29°C (84°F) and not too much precipitation (less than 90 mm (3.5 in) a month).
Warm weather calls for comfortable, breathable clothing in September. Cotton t-shirts, shorts, light dresses, and sandals are perfect. You might still want a light layer for evenings or air-conditioned places (for example buses). Also bring a poncho, it will rain a lot! Waterproof everything you can. With water temperatures around 29°C (84°F), swimming conditions are excellent. Pack your swimsuit, goggles, and maybe some water shoes. And with plenty of sunshine hours, don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and maybe a sun hat.
