Weather in Wuhan in November
China · 20-year averages, November
A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 17.6 °C, lows 8.2 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.
November ranks 2 of 12 in Wuhan. Only October scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.
Rain on 9 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 17.6 °C days and 8.2 °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 30 °C and the coldest night fell to -3.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 38 mm — roughly 56% of the month's rain in one day.
November is moderately variable: 13 mm in the driest year against 144 mm in the wettest, around an average of 68 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.
Wind is light at 8.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 72%.
How November sits in the year
The month is on the way down: 6.7 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 6.7 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.
Daylight in November
November sits at the dark end of Wuhan's year — 10.6 hours of daylight against 14.1 at midsummer, losing 0.7 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 — 32.3 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.
How busy it gets
Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.
Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.
November in Wuhan versus nearby
If Wuhan is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Nanjing is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days less rain. Hangzhou is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.
So: November works, with October the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
