September may mean the end of the summer holidays and the return to the daily routine for most, but this is one of the best months of the year to visit the Amalfi Coast if you can squeeze in a final few days of R&R.
Southern Italy, including destinations like Naples and Sicily, experiences warm temperatures in September. Average highs range from 24°C (75°F) to 28°C (82°F), with average lows between 17°C (63°F) and 21°C (70°F). The weather remains mostly sunny and enjoyable, making it ideal for beach visits and outdoor activities.

It's pretty mild at this time of year, but it's a good idea to bring along a jumper or light jacket for the evenings. The average daily maximum is 25 C and the average daily minimum is 19 C.
It will be quieter in late September, but not quiet. Positano is a unique place, unlike anywhere else along the coast which is part of the reason it's so popular. For contrast, perhaps look at Minori and Maiori to see if one of them feels comfortable to you. They are a lot quieter but may be too quiet.
The Weather in OctoberThe water is still warm from the summer sun along the coast, so you will be able to enjoy swimming in the sea by boat or along the beach.
When traveling to Italy in September, pack light layers that can be easily added or removed as the weather changes. A light jacket, windbreaker, or waterproof coat is a must-have item. If you prefer a denim jacket or another similar jacket, make sure to also bring an umbrella as the weather can be unpredictable.
Pile on the neutral colorsMeanwhile, the “no white after Labor Day” rule in Italy doesn't exist: Locals love winter white, especially for jeans and sweaters.
Positano has a greater selection of shops and restaurants. They also have far better beaches. For art galleries and historic attractions, Amalfi has the lead here with the Duomo, the Carta (Paper) Museum, the Maritime Arsenal Museum, and more.
To get the full Amalfi Coast experience and discover all the best things to do in Amalfi Coast, you should plan to spend 3 days there at the very least. In 3 days, you'll have time to explore the beautiful towns of Vietri sul Mari, Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, and Positano.
The peak season on the Amalfi Coast starts at the end of April and runs through the end of September. The “peak of the peak season” runs from the end of June to the end of August. However, in my opinion, the best time to visit Positano is in the Spring, at the end of May/beginning of June.
