Weather in Montgomery in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 20.2 °C, lows 6.7 °C, and rain falls on 7 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 2 of 12 in Montgomery. Only October scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain on 7 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. 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; 3 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 32.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -6.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 92 mm — roughly 95% 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 166 mm against 27 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 97 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind is light at 5.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 74%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 6.3 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5.1 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Montgomery's year — 10.5 hours of daylight against 14.3 at midsummer, losing 0.7 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 — 31.7 °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 Montgomery versus nearby

If Montgomery is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Atlanta is the weaker option in November — 2.3 °C cooler, 1 day more rain. Mobile is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 1 points behind October, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
