It will probably be hot in September, and cool off as you get into October. Bring light layers, so that you can start with several layers and take them off as the day gets warmer.Thoughts, advice and experiences to share for a September start in SJPDP?
How to pack for the weather is my big question.
Thanks in advance

We started from SJPP on Sept 23 & got to Santiago on Nov. 2. Went on to Finisterre from there. The weather was wildly varied, from very hot for the first half to knee deep snow just past O'cebriero. Crawling under downed trees at one point in heavy snow and wind. Rain and winds were fierce from Santiago to Finisterre, almost made us quit. We loved every step of the way. We hope to do it again in spring of 2020, or even fall of 2020.Thoughts, advice and experiences to share for a September start in SJPDP?

St Jean is very small. Probably very smart to get your lodging booked now and, of course Orisson and Roncesvalles. After that no problem. Highly recommend Beilari in St. Jean. Www.beilari.infoThoughts, advice and experiences to share for a September start in SJPDP?

I was there last September and found that I started early in the morning at about 7 degrees centigrade. It can go up to 25 or more around 2 pm. I was lucky: having been three times on the Camino, twice in May and once in September, I have not counted more than 3 days of rain in all. Buen Camino. ps I am starting again in St-Jean on Sept 13.It will probably be hot in September, and cool off as you get into October.
