Leicester’s September 2026 averaged 20°C, 1.6°C above the norm. Find the November benchmarks—9.7°C high, 4.7°C low, 70 mm rain—and what they mean for autumn planning.
Leicester’s September 2026 average high was 20 °C, compared with a September benchmark of 18.4 °C. That historical comparison is distinct from today’s weather: the figures below are not a live forecast or a statement about active warnings.
September’s average high was 1.6 °C above average
September 2026 recorded an average high 1.6 °C above the September average, according to Open-Meteo.com (ERA5, Copernicus). The comparison period runs from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2026.
A monthly average works like a ripple spreading across a pond: it combines separate movements into one broader signal. The warmer September figure does not mean every day was warmer, nor does it establish what followed. For planning, keep the monthly comparison separate from the forecast for your journey.
November temperature and rainfall benchmarks
The November averages are a high of 9.7 °C, a low of 4.7 °C, rainfall of 70 mm and 12.1 rainy days, using the same Open-Meteo reference period. These are monthly benchmarks, not predictions for an individual November day.
The wider seasonal temperature range
Average highs rise from 6.7 °C in January to 21.9 °C in July, then fall to 14.3 °C in October and 8 °C in December. Across the ten-year period, the hottest day reached 37 °C and the coldest reached -7.4 °C, according to Open-Meteo.com (ERA5, Copernicus). Those extremes describe the historical range, rather than typical daily conditions.
