08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
September keeps the warmth with afternoons around 25 °C and lower humidity, the Film Festival in the first week and the Regata Storica on the first Sunday, with historical boats and costumed rowers on the Grand Canal followed by the gondolino races. Crowds remain heavy in the first half, then ease. It is a superb month once schools return. Rain falls on about seven days.
The Biennale continues to November. The Lido beaches close progressively through the month. The Sagra del Pesce on Burano in the third weekend is the island's fish festival. Daylight shrinks from thirteen hours to twelve. For the mild, golden month with the Marathon and the first acqua alta, see October.
