My wife and I are planning on walking the Camino Frances from mid September to Mid October and tiips on weather condition, availability of Albuergues and crowd size this time of year? All helpful tips welcomed. Thanks Humbertico

Weather decent. Crowds modest. Buen camino.

Check out one of the many weather websites on which you can research past year's weather in Spain for the period and areas you intend to walk.
In regards to amount of pilgrims, look on the website for the pilgrim's office in Santiago and see how many arrived last year on the dates you intend to walk.
cheers

Walked the CF starting in SJPP during September-October last year, only a couple of morning with rain [no big deal], not crowded until we reached Sarria, from that point on the camino was busy but I loved walking with the crowds. Good luck with your planning and execution. You are going to LOVE the camino. Buena suerte, y que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

We did the Camino in 2012 over September, October. Sept was fine but October got really cold. Gloves, scarves, we even bought a vest & long johns! And of course the rain!
Some albergues were quite full over the weekends. So make sure you get there early or if you can pre book. We did not find it very busy except for the last 100 kms. Planning to walk again this year. Hopefully early September. buen Camino

It is a lovely time of year @Humbertico - grape harvest, stone fruit and berries.
