Average temperatures in September across Southeast Iowa are:
⬆️Highs: Mid to upper 70s. ⬇️Lows: Mid 50s. September is one of the best times to visit Iowa as it opens the doors to the beautiful autumn season with pleasant conditions. The oaks, maples, walnuts, and elms start to turn colors by Mid September as the beautiful fall season spreads over Iowa. North Iowa attains peak fall colors earlier than the central and southern parts. By the end of September, the landscape and scenery attain beautiful shades of colors, and the Driftless Area Scenic Byway is one of the best places to view the fall foliage! ☔The summer rains recede to an average of 3"-4".
In September we lose a whopping ☀1 hour and 17 minutes of daylight. The sun will 🌅rise about 29 minutes later and 🌇set approximately 48 minutes sooner from the 1st-30th.
