Weather in Las Vegas in November

Prime time. November is about as good as Las Vegas gets. Highs average 21 °C, lows 7.7 °C, and rain falls on 2 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 3 of 12 in Las Vegas. Only April scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 2 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. 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 31.8 °C and the coldest night fell to -3.8 °C.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 59 mm across the twenty years measured — a 59 mm spread around an average of 12 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 8.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and the air is dry at 35% humidity, which makes the heat far more bearable than the same figure somewhere humid — and dehydrates you faster than you expect.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 7.5 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 6.4 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

10.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Las Vegas's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 38.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

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 Las Vegas versus nearby

If Las Vegas is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Riverside is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.8 °C warmer, 2 days more rain. Sedona is the weaker option in November — 3.1 °C cooler, 2 days more rain.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 2 points behind April, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
