September cools down gradually but typhoons are at their most likely. Check forecasts before booking.

The humidity begins to ease and temperatures drop from August's extreme, but September carries the highest typhoon risk of the year. A typhoon can genuinely disrupt travel plans. Hotels are cheap. If your dates are flexible and you have contingency plans, September can be excellent value. If your schedule is fixed, the unpredictability is a real risk.
