Weather in San Luis Potosí in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 23 °C, lows 8.6 °C, and rain falls on 3 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 5 of 12 in San Luis Potosí: past the worst of the year but short of December, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain falls on only 3 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 29.8 °C and the coldest night fell to -2.7 °C.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 42 mm across the twenty years measured — a 42 mm spread around an average of 13 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 9.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 67%.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 25 °C in October, 23 here, 21.8 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of San Luis Potosí's year — 11.1 hours of daylight against 13.5 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

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 24.5 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights. At 1886 m, altitude is doing as much work here as latitude: thinner air means fierce sun by day and heat that leaves the moment it sets. Within November itself the daily swing is 14.4 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead. If the dates are flexible, April is the trade worth considering — 14 points weaker on weather, and materially quieter.

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

November in San Luis Potosí versus nearby

If San Luis Potosí is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Santiago de Querétaro is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Morelia is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 3 points behind December, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
