Yes, it is. In fact for many Florida airports, September is the slowest month of the year. Kids go back to school (no trips to Disney World) and it's also the peak of hurricane season.
For example, Daytona Beach (DAB):
Enplanement's by Month (2003 2004)
January 20,577 21,874
February 22,009 25,166
March 28,013 31,938
April 22,939 29,341
May 23,527 28,029
June 23,145 27,191
July 24,020 29,272
August 24,685 26,982
September 19,977 16,313
October 23,133 25,027
November 22,800 25,263
December 22,947 24,543
You'll notice that September is the worst month for both years.
