Weather forecast for the Arizona Trail in September

September on the Arizona Trail brings lingering monsoon influence in the south, with warm to hot days, mid-teen nights, and frequent clouds with periodic showers. Central elevations see warm afternoons and cool nights under variable skies, punctuated by scattered downpours. Farther north and higher, daytime temperatures drop to mild or cool, nights turn cold, and fast-moving systems can deliver brief heavy rain and, at the highest plateaus, early snowfall. Sunshine remains common between systems, but day-to-day variability is notable along the entire route.
