Weather in Mérida in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 29.3 °C, lows 20.5 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 9 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 29.3 °C days and 20.5 °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: 12 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 34.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 14.4 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 33 mm — roughly 63% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 2 mm in the driest year against 141 mm in the wettest, around an average of 52 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 0.9 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: 29.9 °C in October, 29.3 here, 29.5 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 7 days fewer than October had.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Mérida's year — 11.2 hours of daylight against 13.4 at midsummer, losing 0.4 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 26.6 °C in November — warm enough to stay in as long as you like. The sea peaks at 29.1 °C in August and bottoms out at 24 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

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 Mérida versus nearby

If Mérida is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Cancún is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 4 days more rain. Key West is a better bet in November — 3.7 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 5 points behind January, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
