September weather in Blackpool
The month of September sees the tourists filter out of Blackpool.
The holiday season comes to an end as students go back to school.
However, holiday-seekers may want to tour the seaside resort this month as most tourist attractions will still be open and they won't be as crowded as they were in July and August.
The month experiences fairly warm weather, at least by the United Kingdom's standards.
You will see an average temperature of 14°C, with average high temperatures climbing to 17°C and average low temperatures of 11°C.
It's certainly still warm enough to walk around comfortably, though you may want to keep a jumper or coat on hand just in case those chilly days do come around.
The sea is also still warm and has an average temperature of 16°C.
There's plenty of time to enjoy paddling, swimming, or trying your hand at water sports if you head down to the beach. The good news is that with less children and teenagers around, you might get a slice of the sand to yourself. It will still be busy later in the day and on weekends.
Although this area experiences a maritime climate and receives rainfall throughout the year, we are now reaching the beginning of a rainier period.
The month receives an average precipitation of 10mm, the lowest amount of the year, but this is the proverbial calm before the storm of October.
There is an average of 16 days with rainfall, so half the month will see rain. This does however mean that the other half will be dry.
If you head down the coast a little to Southport, you will see much more rain, so this is a great place to stay where you can get the maximum opportunities to enjoy dry weather most days.
