Weather in Jacksonville in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 22.9 °C, lows 11.4 °C, and rain falls on 7 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 7 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average November reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 31.5 °C and the coldest night fell to -3.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 43 mm — roughly 81% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 2 mm in the driest year against 113 mm in the wettest, around an average of 53 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 2.3 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 79%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 4.4 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3.1 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Jacksonville's year — 10.6 hours of daylight against 14.1 at midsummer, losing 0.7 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 23.8 °C in November — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 28.4 °C in August and bottoms out at 19.5 °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

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 Jacksonville versus nearby

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

So: November is the answer for Jacksonville. If it is booked out or priced out, February is the next best thing at 2 points behind, and July is the month to keep off the shortlist.
