Weather in Madrid in September<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

September weather in Madrid is still quite warm, and the early part of the month in particular can still feel almost summery. Temperatures tend to stick around the low 70s Fahrenheit overall (21\u201323 degrees Celsius) during the day, and sunshine is plentiful throughout the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
