November weather forecast
District of Columbia, USA

November in the District of Columbia marks a deeper dive into the autumn season, signaling the approach of winter. Temperatures take a more pronounced dip, ranging between the mid-50s°F and low 60s°F. This cooling trend, more pronounced than in October, is a clear indicator of the changing seasons.

The humidity, which was already on the decline, reaches its minimal levels, resulting in a predominantly dry atmosphere. However, November does bring occasional rain showers, and by the month's end, there's a hint of the potential for the year's first frost or even a light snowfall, especially during the cooler nights.

The vibrant foliage of October starts to wane, with leaves shedding rapidly, blanketing the city streets and parks. The bare trees stand as silhouettes against the often overcast skies of November, creating a picturesque, if somewhat melancholic, scenery.

Outdoor activities evolve further during this month. With the pronounced chill in the air, activities shift towards preparations for the upcoming holiday season. Street markets, early holiday shopping, and the anticipation of Thanksgiving become central to the city's pulse.

Evenings in November can be particularly chilly, necessitating warmer attire. Scarves, hats, and heavier jackets become common sights on the streets of the District. As the month edges towards its conclusion, there's a palpable anticipation of the festive and frosty month of December.

Comparatively, while October offers the warmth and colors of fall, November introduces the District to the initial touches of winter's cold. This steady transition towards the colder months is felt uniformly, whether one is in the heart of the city or its surrounding neighborhoods.
