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.

Packing List
What to Pack for Harrison in September →
Transition to light layers like long-sleeve tees and light jackets for the 62–78°F range. You'll want a hoodie or sweater for the cooler 62°F evenings on the Passaic River waterfront.
September is arguably the best month to visit, with comfortable 78°F highs and a busy schedule at Red Bull Arena. The 9 days of precipitation are usually less humid than the summer months.
Classic leather sneakers or comfortable flats are ideal for the 78°F weather. They handle the 9 days of rain better than canvas shoes while still looking sharp for the PATH commute into Manhattan.
Highs reach a pleasant 78°F, though early September can still see occasional 85°F days. The river breeze makes the 62°F evenings feel quite refreshing compared to the summer heat.
Pack a mix of short and long-sleeved shirts, a light jacket, and comfortable jeans for the 62–78°F weather. A light windbreaker is great for late-season matches at the open-air Red Bull Arena.
