Weather in Tamworth in November

A good month. November is a solid month to be in Tamworth. Highs average 29.8 °C, lows 15 °C, and rain falls on 10 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 9 of 12 in Tamworth: past the worst of the year but short of April, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 10 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 29.8 °C days and 15 °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: 14 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 42.1 °C and the coldest night fell to 5.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 48 mm — roughly 60% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 14 mm in the driest year against 189 mm in the wettest, around an average of 80 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 9.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 53%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 3 °C warmer than October, and December adds another 1.8 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in November

November is at or near the longest days of Tamworth's year: 13.7 hours of daylight, gaining 0.7 hours across the month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 29.5 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage. Within November itself the daily swing is 14.8 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

How busy it gets

Quiet. Few other visitors, cheaper rooms, and a real chance some seasonal operators are shut.

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

November in Tamworth versus nearby

If Tamworth is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Armidale is a better bet in November — 5.5 °C cooler, 2 days more rain. Maitland is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November is a compromise. April is 25 points better and is what Tamworth is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
