Check the forecast’s update time and selected date before planning a journey. Use the official Leicester warnings page for warning details. For the football location, select the separate Leicester City F.C. forecast.
November averages and the seasonal turning point
For November, the historical average high is 9.7°C, the average low 4.7°C, average rainfall 70 mm and rainy days 12.1, using the Open-Meteo.com ERA5 series covering 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2026.
November acts as a seasonal hinge: the average high falls from October’s 14.3°C to 9.7°C, before December’s 8°C. That transition makes October a poor temperature benchmark for a November outing; use the month-specific baseline, then check the forecast for the actual day.
