Asia

What’s the weather like in Asia in September?

The Asia weather in September has an average temperature of 14°C across the whole continent. But if you’re flying off to a fantastic country in the warm south of Asia, such as Sri Lanka or Thailand, then you can expect temperatures to be double that. Take a showerproof jacket though as you could get caught in tropical rains.

Geographical influences

Countries in the south of Asia, such as India, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia will be warmer than northern countries like Russia, China and Kazakhstan in September. Rainfall will also be higher in these tropical regions, with Goa on India’s west coast having over 200mm this month. By the coast the cool sea breeze in southern Asia is very welcoming.
