Weather in Albany in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 19.6 °C, lows 14.2 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 5 of 12 in Albany: past the worst of the year but short of January, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average November reaches 30 °C; the day barely swings — 5.4 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 32.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 10.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 37 mm — roughly 80% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 15 mm in the driest year against 134 mm in the wettest, around an average of 46 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 18 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 75%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 18 °C in October, 19.6 here, 20.8 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in November

November is at or near the longest days of Albany's year: 13.9 hours of daylight, gaining 0.8 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 16.9 °C in November — cold — a quick dip rather than a swim, and a wetsuit if you are in for longer. The sea peaks at 19.8 °C in February and bottoms out at 16.1 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Albany versus nearby

If Albany is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Bunbury is close enough to be a coin toss — 4.9 °C warmer, 3 days less rain. Perth is a better bet in November — 2.8 °C warmer, 4 days less rain.

So: November works, with January the better month by 9 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
