Weather in Guwahati in November

Prime time. November is about as good as Guwahati gets. Highs average 28.2 °C, lows 17.3 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 4 of 12 in Guwahati: past the worst of the year but short of January, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 28.2 °C days and 17.3 °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: 5 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 34 °C and the coldest night fell to 10.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 35 mm — roughly 269% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 62 mm across the twenty years measured — a 62 mm spread around an average of 13 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 1.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 3.1 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip. Rain has already shifted: 9 days fewer than October had.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Guwahati's year — 10.9 hours of daylight against 13.8 at midsummer, losing 0.6 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 23.4 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

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 Guwahati versus nearby

If Guwahati is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Dārjiling is close enough to be a coin toss — 12.9 °C cooler, 1 day less rain. Kolkata is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November works, with January the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
