Weather in Liberia in November

Shoulder season. November sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. The heat itself is manageable at 28.8 °C, but 85% humidity is what you will actually feel.

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

Rain on 15 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 85% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 4 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break; the day barely swings — 5.6 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 32.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 523 mm — roughly 321% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 13 mm to 1289 mm across the twenty years measured — a 1276 mm spread around an average of 163 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 9.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity at 85% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 28.8 °C.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 28.5 °C in October, 28.8 here, 30.1 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: December brings 12 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in November

Liberia sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 11.6 hours in November, against a range of just 1.2 hours across the whole calendar. Sunrise and sunset land at roughly the same time whenever you come.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 12.7 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

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 Liberia versus nearby

If Liberia is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Puntarenas is the weaker option in November — within a degree on temperature, 3 days more rain. San José is close enough to be a coin toss — 5.8 °C cooler, 7 days more rain.

So: November is a compromise. December is 22 points better and is what Liberia is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
