Weather in September

September in French Guiana marks a transition period as the country begins to move from the lesser rainy season back towards the greater rainy season. In Cayenne, the coastal capital, the average rainfall is about 100mm (3.94"), maintaining similar levels as in August. However, the number of rainy days begins to increase marginally, signalling the impending arrival of the greater rainy season.

Similarly, inland areas such as Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni exhibit a stable level of rainfall in September but with an upward trend towards the end of the month. The subtle changes in precipitation patterns reflect the gradual shift in seasons throughout the country.

Despite these subtle shifts in rainfall, temperatures in September continue to remain consistent, as observed throughout the year. Nighttime temperatures hover around a low of 23°C (73.4°F), while daytime temperatures can reach up to 31°C (87.8°F). The transition towards the greater rainy season does not significantly affect these temperatures, further demonstrating the stability of French Guiana's tropical climate.

Sunlight in September is relatively steady, with coastal areas receiving about 7 hours of sunshine per day. The frequency of overcast days slightly increases as the month progresses, indicative of the increasing cloud cover associated with the imminent rainy season.
