Weather in Hobart in November

A good month. November is a solid month to be in Hobart. Highs average 17.9 °C, lows 9.9 °C, and rain falls on 12 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 12 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 17.9 °C days and 9.9 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

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 31.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 5.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 36 mm — roughly 57% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 9 mm in the driest year against 123 mm in the wettest, around an average of 63 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 14.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 74%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.1 °C warmer than October, and December adds another 1.9 °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

14.6 hours of daylight, gaining 1.1 hours across the month. That is between Hobart's extremes of 15.3 and 9 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 13.3 °C in November — too cold to swim without a wetsuit. The sea peaks at 16.6 °C in February and bottoms out at 12.4 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

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 Hobart versus nearby

If Hobart is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Launceston is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.3 °C warmer, 1 day less rain. Devonport is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 3 days less rain.

So: November works, with January the better month by 13 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
