Question

What’s the weather like in Jamaica in November?

Answer

Temperature: Daytime highs range from 82°F to 88°F while nighttime lows are around 73°F to 77°F . The weather is pleasantly warm, but the evenings may feel a bit cooler, especially by the water. Humidity: Jamaica is generally humid, but it’s less intense in November than in the summer months. Rainfall: November is usually the tail end of the rainy season, so you may encounter brief, scattered showers, often in the late afternoon. However, they tend to pass quickly, with plenty of sunshine following. Hurricane Season: November is the end of hurricane season, though major storms are less common this late in the season. It’s still good to check the forecast as your travel date approaches.
