Weather in Bandung in November

Shoulder season. November sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. You should expect rain on 25 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

November ranks 9 of 12 in Bandung: past the worst of the year but short of August, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 25 of the month's 30 days, 11 of them heavy. At that frequency a wet-weather backup is not a contingency, it is the itinerary — book the indoor things first and treat the clear days as the bonus. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 87% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 32.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 17.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 73 mm — roughly 25% of the month's rain in one day.

November is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest November on record still delivered 441 mm against 55 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 294 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 87% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 27.7 °C.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.5 °C in October, 27.7 here, 26.8 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 5 days more than October had.

Daylight in November

Bandung sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 12.4 hours in November, against a range of just 0.8 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 10.8 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights. At 714 m the air is thin enough to matter — sun that burns faster than the temperature suggests, and nights that cool off quickly.

How busy it gets

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

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

November in Bandung versus nearby

If Bandung is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Jakarta is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.5 °C warmer, 2 days more rain. Bandar Lampung is close enough to be a coin toss — 3 °C warmer, 5 days less rain.

So: November is a compromise. August is 23 points better and is what Bandung is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
