September in Makassar, Indonesia, brings average daily highs of 33°C and overnight lows of 25°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 14 of 30 days on average, a daily chance of 45%. Give wet-weather alternatives a proper place in the itinerary. Arrange outdoor plans so you can move them between days, and pack a rain layer rather than relying on a completely dry run of weather.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 12 hours. Sunshine averages 11 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible. If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility.
October has an average daily high of 32°C, 1°C lower than September. Its historical rain-day chance is 68%, compared with 45% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
