Gustavo Adolfo Madero Weather in November

November weather

November is one of the best months to visit Gustavo Adolfo Madero. Days feel mild, while evenings can turn chilly at this high elevation. The high reaches 22°C and the low falls to 8°C. Rain is much less common than in October, so you're less likely to lose a day to a downpour.

You can explore the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe and climb Tepeyac Hill in comfortable conditions. The hill's views are a good reward for the walk. Save long outdoor plans for daylight, then find a warm place to eat as the evening cools. November has less rain than October, but December is drier still.

Holidays and crowds

Día de Muertos, on November 1 and 2, brings altars and remembrance traditions across Mexico City. You may find events elsewhere in the city, though they aren't specific to this borough. The Basilica gets its biggest pilgrimage on December 12, for the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. November is usually calmer there than that December date.

November sits within the popular dry-season stretch, so it isn't the quietest time of year. Still, outside holiday events, the borough feels less packed than during the December pilgrimage. Prices can be higher than in the rainy summer months, but often feel less pressured than around the December holidays.

A good fit for walkers

For couples who like walking, November's mild afternoons make Tepeyac Hill and the Basilica grounds pleasant stops. Families can also enjoy the broad paths around the shrine, though the evening chill may cut outdoor time short.

A useful local tip: use Metro Line 6 to reach La Villa-Basílica station, then walk to the shrine. Around Día de Muertos, give yourself extra time if you're heading to the Basilica, as holiday visitors can make the area busier. After your visit, try a tlacoyo from a nearby street stall: it's a thick corn cake, often filled with beans.
