Curitiba Weather in September

September weather in Curitiba

Spring brings milder afternoons, but September can still feel cool in the morning and evening. The high reaches 24°C, while rain falls on about 14 days. Cloudy skies and damp spells are common, so don't count on every day being bright.

You can still enjoy a walk through the Botanical Garden or Parque Barigui between showers. Save the Oscar Niemeyer Museum or the covered stalls at the Mercado Municipal for a rainy stretch. Compared with August, September is warmer but wetter; October is warmer still and brings more rain.

Events and local life

Brazil's Independence Day falls on September 7. It's a public holiday, so expect some shops and services to change their hours. You may see patriotic events, though the main celebrations are often larger in Brazil's capital.

For a low-key local outing, browse the Sunday market at Largo da Ordem in the historic centre. It's a good place to look for crafts and try a pastel, a fried pastry with savoury filling. Rain can make the cobbled streets slippery, so take your time.

Crowds and practical tips

September is generally quieter than Curitiba's summer holiday period, and prices are often less pressured than in peak months. It's a useful time for a city break if you're happy to work around passing showers.

If you hate crowds, visit the Botanical Garden on a weekday rather than a sunny weekend. Its glass greenhouse is a popular stop, and it's especially handy when rain interrupts a walk outside. Check holiday opening hours around September 7 before setting out.
