There have been years where September in the Whitney area, especially late September, are _very_ cold. When I finished the JMT last week of September 2019, the last two/three days were below freezing, even during the day. Logistics, like keeping water liquid, can catch one by surprise. Another thing to remember about September is shorter days. The “Pickup at the Portal” episode in my podcast gives details of my experience. (I believe late September 2019 was anomalous as far as extremely cold weather in the Whitney area.)
