September weather in Savannah

Real heat — around 29°C / 85°F by day, so pace the afternoons and carry water, with rain on about 14 days, so keep a layer handy.

Savannah gets rain on about 14 days in September, so the odds of being caught out are real. What earns its bag space is a shell that packs to nothing, dries fast and has a hood that survives wind; a heavy waterproof is overkill and an umbrella is one more thing to carry through crowds.
