Weather in Wrocław in November

A hard month. November is a hard month in Wrocław, and worth planning around. Highs sit at 8.5 °C and the day is short; this is an indoors-with-excursions month, not an outdoors-all-day one.

November ranks 8 of 12 in Wrocław: past the worst of the year but short of September, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 10 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Layers, and a genuinely waterproof outer — at 8.5 °C the difference between a good day and a miserable one is entirely down to what you are wearing.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 10 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 18.9 °C and the coldest night fell to -11.2 °C.

November is moderately variable: 1 mm in the driest year against 93 mm in the wettest, around an average of 41 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 10.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 90%, which at 8.5 °C means damp rather than muggy — the kind of cold that gets into a coat and stays there.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 6.3 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5.4 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

9 hours of daylight, losing 1.5 hours across the month. That is between Wrocław's extremes of 16.5 and 7.9 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

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 Wrocław versus nearby

If Wrocław is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Liberec is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain. Prague is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain.

So: November is a compromise. September is 38 points better and is what Wrocław is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
