Charlotte Amalie Weather in November

November weather

November stays warm in Charlotte Amalie, with highs around 28°C and lows near 27°C. Humidity is high, and rain falls on many days, often making the air feel sticky. You'll still get sunshine, but showers can interrupt a beach day or a walk through town.

This is a good month for browsing shops along Main Street, visiting Fort Christian, or taking a swim at Magens Bay between showers. The sea stays inviting, but don't count on an uninterrupted beach day. Steep streets and stone steps can get slippery after rain, so leave a long climb for a drier spell.

Events and quieter days

Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are observed in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some offices and businesses may close, especially on Thanksgiving, while restaurants and tourist services can vary. Charlotte Amalie doesn't have a major annual November festival to plan a trip around; its best-known Carnival celebrations take place in spring.

If you hate crowds, November can feel calmer than the January-to-April high season. Still, cruise ships can fill the waterfront and shopping streets on port days. Thanksgiving travel may also make flights busier, and prices can rise around the holiday compared with quieter parts of the month.

Local tips for Charlotte Amalie

November is wetter than December, but rain is lower than in October. Treat the day as flexible: explore town when clouds gather, then head to the beach when the sun returns. If you're hoping to hike, avoid setting out on wet, steep trails; slick footing can make the outing less enjoyable.

Travelling with kids? Keep Fort Christian or a Main Street lunch as a rainy-day option. Try a local johnnycake, a fried bread often served as a snack, from a bakery in town. One useful local tip: take care on the 99 Steps after rain. The stone steps climb through town, and their surfaces can be slick.
