The tables below give monthly averages for rainfall during September at cities in France. Each place has a total for how many days of wet weather it usually gets this month and for the normal amount of precipitation.
There's a separate table for each corner of the country: Southeast, Southwest, Northeast and Northwest, plus Central France.
The calculation of days only includes the days when precipitation totalled at least one millimetre (0.04 inches). The month's total rainfall is an average of weather data collected during 1991 to 2020.
