Weather in Daegu in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs sit at 13.2 °C and the day is short; this is an indoors-with-excursions month, not an outdoors-all-day one.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Daegu: past the worst of the year but short of October, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 5 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Layers, and a genuinely waterproof outer — at 13.2 °C the difference between a good day and a miserable one is entirely down to what you are wearing.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 11 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 23.8 °C and the coldest night fell to -6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 34 mm — roughly 92% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 1 mm in the driest year against 107 mm in the wettest, around an average of 37 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 7.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 79%, which at 13.2 °C means damp rather than muggy — the kind of cold that gets into a coat and stays there.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 7.1 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 7.8 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

10.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Daegu's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 36.8 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

November in Daegu versus nearby

If Daegu is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Busan is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Gwangju is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: November is a compromise. October is 20 points better and is what Daegu is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
