Weather in Manaus in November

A hard month. November asks something of you. Go in knowing what. You should expect rain on 19 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

November ranks 11 of 12 — near the bottom of Manaus's year. August is the month that works, and the swing between the two is 20 points, which is a different holiday rather than a slightly better one.

Rain on 19 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 31.8 °C days and 25.9 °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: 21 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional; the day barely swings — 5.9 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 39.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 22.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 49 mm — roughly 36% of the month's rain in one day.

November is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest November on record still delivered 257 mm against 47 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 135 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 2.1 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 77%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 33.1 °C in October, 31.8 here, 29.9 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: December brings 6 days more of it, so the earlier half of a flexible trip is the safer half.

Daylight in November

Manaus sits close enough to the equator that daylight barely moves all year — 12.3 hours in November, against a range of just 0.4 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: 8.9 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

How busy it gets

Off season. The genuine off season: cheapest by a distance, with the caveat that some tours and restaurants close entirely.

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

November in Manaus versus nearby

If Manaus is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Belém is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 5 days less rain. Cusco is a better bet in November — 13.4 °C cooler, 7 days less rain.

So: November works, with August the better month by 18 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
