We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for New York City, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about New York City weather in November.

What's the weather like in New York during November?

ScribbleStu New York has famously changeable weather during the autumn and winter months. At the end of November, we experienced a few very pleasant days with sunny skies and highs of around 12 degrees, followed by a bitterly cold few days where the temperature was nearly above freezing and the wind was biting. On our final day, it rained non-stop. We didn't see any snow, which I hear is more usual in January and February. Answered by ScribbleStu

What should I pack for a holiday in New York during November?

ScribbleStu You'll need to be prepared for cold and potentially wet weather. I took a hat, gloves and thermals and used them! A coat is an absolute necessity, ideally one that's waterproof. Answered by ScribbleStu

Whats's great about New York during November?

ScribbleStu New York isn't as cold in November as it can be in January, February and March, so it's a good time to go and explore. Later in the month, you'll get the excitement of Thanksgiving, which is a wonderful time to see the city. The added bonus is that Christmas will also be in full swing with twinkling lights everywhere. Don't miss the Christmas markets in Union Square and Bryant Park! Answered by ScribbleStu

What's the temperature like in New York City during November?

The temperature reaches around 12℃ during the daytime in November, falling away to 5℃ at night. The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.

Does it rain in New York City during November?

November is typically the driest month in New York City. On average, there will be 6 rainy days during the month, amounting to 104.4mm in total. That's a significant amount of rain. For comparison, the wettest months in the UK typically sees between 80mm and 100mm, depending on where you are. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in New York City during November?
