Weather in Dubbo in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 30.6 °C, lows 15.1 °C, and rain falls on 7 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 7 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 30.6 °C days and 15.1 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 6 days clear 35 °C, so a serious heatwave is normal rather than notable; the day swings 15.5 °C from low to high, which means one bag has to cover both. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 44.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 5.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 36 mm — roughly 65% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 10 mm in the driest year against 165 mm in the wettest, around an average of 55 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 11.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 48%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 3.7 °C warmer than October, and December adds another 2.2 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in November

November is at or near the longest days of Dubbo's year: 13.7 hours of daylight, gaining 0.7 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 31 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage. Within November itself the daily swing is 15.5 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

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 Dubbo versus nearby

If Dubbo is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Bathurst is a better bet in November — 5.4 °C cooler, 3 days more rain. Katoomba is close enough to be a coin toss — 7.7 °C cooler, 4 days more rain.

So: November is a compromise. April is 22 points better and is what Dubbo is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
