Rainfall, while present, tends to be less frequent and intense than the summer months. Thunderstorms become a rarer occurrence, replaced by steadier rain showers when they do appear.

The most defining feature of September, however, is the transformation of the state's foliage.

This natural spectacle attracts visitors from near and far, eager to witness the state's renowned fall foliage.
