Weather in Little Rock in November

A good month. November is a solid month to be in Little Rock. Highs average 17.4 °C, lows 5.3 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

The rain arrives in bursts — 4 of the 8 wet days are heavy ones. Mornings tend to hold; build the outdoor half of each day before lunch and keep the afternoon flexible. Pack for 17.4 °C days and 5.3 °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: 5 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 30.4 °C and the coldest night fell to -7.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 63 mm — roughly 60% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 13 mm in the driest year against 253 mm in the wettest, around an average of 105 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 1.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 78%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 7.2 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5.6 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Little Rock's year — 10.4 hours of daylight against 14.5 at midsummer, losing 0.8 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 — 35.6 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Little Rock versus nearby

If Little Rock is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. New South Memphis is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Shreveport is a better bet in November — 2.5 °C warmer, the same number of rain days.

So: November works, with October the better month by 7 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
