What to Wear in Harrison in September
September offers relief as temperatures dip to 62–78°F, though the humidity often lingers early in the month. It’s a great time for light layers like denim jackets or hoodies for evening matches at Red Bull Arena or walks along the Passaic River.
September brings a welcome shift to Harrison, as the oppressive heat of July and August begins to break, giving way to crisp 78°F afternoons and cooling 62°F evenings. The atmosphere near the Harrison PATH station is energetic as the fall commute kicks into high gear, and the local style transitions into light layering with a focus on versatile, athletic-inspired pieces. While the weather is generally pleasant, the 9 days of precipitation can still be humid and heavy early in the month. A lingering pain point is the "transition chill"—after a day of late-summer sun, the river breeze along the waterfront can drop temperatures quickly once the sun sets, catching unprepared visitors at Red Bull Arena without a light outer layer.
