Weather in Dallas in November

Prime time. November is about as good as Dallas gets. Highs average 19.9 °C, lows 7.8 °C, and rain falls on 6 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is October, and the month at the other end of the year is August.

Rain falls on only 6 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

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 33.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 68 mm — roughly 119% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 4 mm to 239 mm across the twenty years measured — a 235 mm spread around an average of 57 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 11.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 71%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 6.6 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5.6 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Dallas's year — 10.5 hours of daylight against 14.3 at midsummer, losing 0.7 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 35.1 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

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

November in Dallas versus nearby

If Dallas is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Shreveport is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days more rain. Oklahoma City is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.4 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: November is the answer for Dallas. If it is booked out or priced out, October is the next best thing at 4 points behind, and August is the month to keep off the shortlist.
