November in Key West offers a transition from the heat and humidity of summer to a more temperate climate. Typical conditions include daily highs in the low 80s Fahrenheit (high 20s Celsius) and lows in the low 70s Fahrenheit (low 20s Celsius). Rainfall decreases significantly compared to the summer months, and humidity levels also drop, creating a comfortable environment for outdoor activities. Ocean temperatures remain warm, suitable for swimming and watersports.
This period is considered part of Key West’s “dry season” and is highly desirable for tourism. The pleasant temperatures and lower humidity make it ideal for exploring the island’s historical sites, enjoying its vibrant nightlife, and partaking in various water activities. Historically, November marked the beginning of the island’s bustling tourist season following the quieter, wetter summer months. This shift brought increased economic activity and a lively atmosphere to the island.
