BBC Weather Leicester: today’s forecast or November averages?
See the BBC Weather Leicester forecast and use November averages as a seasonal baseline—9.7°C highs, 4.7°C lows and 70mm rain—then verify conditions before you go.
For today’s conditions, use the BBC Weather forecast for Leicester. The figures below describe historical temperatures and rainfall, not a live forecast or current weather warnings.

A forecast-checking loop for everyday plans
Build a simple checking loop around your outing: review the forecast when making plans, then check again before leaving. For a return journey, consider both departure and homeward conditions. Keep historical averages separate from those checks: November’s rainfall total cannot tell you when rain will fall, and its average high is not today’s predicted temperature.
