Weather in Kanpur in November
India · 20-year averages, November
Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 28.3 °C, lows 14.3 °C, and rain falls on 1 days — nothing in the month is working against you.
November ranks 3 of 12 in Kanpur. Only December scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.
Rain falls on only 1 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 28.3 °C days and 14.3 °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: 8 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 35 °C and the coldest night fell to 7.2 °C.
November is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest November on record still only managed 20 mm, and the driest managed 0 mm. There is no meaningful variability to plan around, which makes this one of the few months anywhere that you can build a fixed outdoor itinerary against without a fallback. The wettest single day in twenty years of Novembers brought 17 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.
Wind is light at 4.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 53%.
How November sits in the year
The month is on the way down: 3.6 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 4.1 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.
Daylight in November
November sits at the dark end of Kanpur'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
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. Within November itself the daily swing is 14 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.
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 Kanpur versus nearby
If Kanpur is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Agra is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Varanasi is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.
So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 5 points behind December, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
