Provence weather in Sep-Oct

Hi, we're planning a 2 week trip to Provence and the French Riviera and were considering the last week of Sep and first week of Oct. But we're seeing conflicting thoughts on the weather. Some of the older threads (like around 2018) say that its really warm whereas travel websites already refer to that time as autumn. Has anyone been there in the last few years around the same time? We would prefer slightly warmer weather - certainly don't want it to be chilly, especially during the day.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I live near there. It's wonderful around then. Our sweltering heat will be finished.

It will be cooler at higher altitudes. Bring a sweater for evenings.

Go to timeanddate.com. It will give all sorts of weather information going back @ 20 years. It's what I use to plan my packing as well as looking at forecasts just a few days before my trip to get a current read on the weather.

I was there in late Sept/early Oct in 2023 and it was really warm, but not unbearable. At the most probably mid80s.
