Weather in Ranchi in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 24.4 °C, lows 13.3 °C, and rain falls on 1 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is December, and the month at the other end of the year is June.

Rain falls on only 1 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. 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. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 28.6 °C and the coldest night fell to 6.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 26 mm — roughly 433% of the month's rain in one day.

November is dependably dry, and that reliability is the point: across the twenty years measured, the wettest November on record still only managed 57 mm, and the driest managed 0 mm. There is no meaningful variability to plan around, which makes this one of the few months anywhere that you can build a fixed outdoor itinerary against without a fallback. The wettest single day in twenty years of Novembers brought 26 mm. Rain simply is not the variable that decides this trip — heat, crowds and cost are.

Wind is light at 4.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 70%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 2.2 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 1.8 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip. Rain has already shifted: 8 days fewer than October had.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Ranchi's year — 11 hours of daylight against 13.6 at midsummer, losing 0.5 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 — 30.5 °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 Ranchi versus nearby

If Ranchi is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Jamshedpur is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.6 °C warmer, 1 day more rain. Patna is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.5 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: November is the answer for Ranchi. If it is booked out or priced out, December is the next best thing at 0 points behind, and June is the month to keep off the shortlist.
