Weather in Virginia Beach in November

A good month. November is a solid month to be in Virginia Beach. Highs average 15.2 °C, lows 8.1 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Virginia Beach: past the worst of the year but short of October, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 8 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 15.2 °C days and 8.1 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 24.7 °C and the coldest night fell to -2.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 128 mm — roughly 156% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 6 mm in the driest year against 244 mm in the wettest, around an average of 82 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 13.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 79%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 5.9 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 4.6 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Virginia Beach's year — 10.2 hours of daylight against 14.7 at midsummer, losing 0.9 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 16 °C in November — cold — a quick dip rather than a swim, and a wetsuit if you are in for longer. The sea peaks at 25.8 °C in August and bottoms out at 8.7 °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

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

November in Virginia Beach versus nearby

If Virginia Beach is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Richmond is the weaker option in November — 6.6 °C cooler, 12 days more rain. Washington is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November works, with October the better month by 15 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
