Remember:

September is not the best month to go to in Lapland. The weather in Piteå, Lulea, Robertsfors, Umeå and Skellefteå is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you may be faced the rain often. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a deckchair & cocktails by the pool trip but rather discovery of heritage or walking, this climate may suit. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists during this period.
It's much worse in Arvidsjaur, Saariselkä, Vardø, Inari (Lake Inari), Båtsfjord, Lyngseidet, Salla, Alta, Jokkmokk, Hammerfest, Pajala, Kolari, Pello, Kautokeino, Rovaniemi, Apatity, Honningsvåg, Gällivare, Lycksele, Kiruna, Tornio, Ivalo, Kemi, Oulanka National Park, Sodankylä, Tromso, Pelkosenniemi, Kittilä, Abisko, Skjervoy, Storuman, Mourmansk, Vadsø, Muonio, Storslett, Enontekiö, Ranua, Ylitornio and Lakselv and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. It is really not advisable to travel to these areas this month.
