Kanpur Weather in November

November weather

November is one of Kanpur's easiest months for exploring. Afternoons are warm, while mornings and evenings feel much cooler. The high is 28°C and the low is 14°C, with very little rain. You can stroll around Phool Bagh, visit the Kanpur Memorial Church or spend time at Allen Forest Zoo without the sticky heat of October.

The clear, dry days also suit a walk along the Ganga Barrage. Save long outdoor outings for daytime, though; evenings can feel chilly once you stop moving. You're unlikely to lose much sightseeing time to rain, but November days are shorter than summer ones.

Festivals and crowds

Diwali sometimes falls in November, bringing decorated homes, fireworks and busy markets. Its date changes each year, so the city's busiest days shift too. Guru Nanak Gurpurab may also fall in November, with prayers and community events at local gurdwaras.

Travelling with kids? Allen Forest Zoo is a good fit for a sunny afternoon, but expect more visitors around Diwali school holidays. November is part of Kanpur's popular travel season, so rooms and train seats can be harder to find than in the hot summer or rainy months. Prices may also be higher than in quieter periods.

November in Kanpur: local tips

If you hate crowds, avoid the main markets on Diwali evening and visit Phool Bagh on a regular weekday instead. For a local treat, stop at Thaggu Ke Laddu near Naveen Market; the shop is known for its laddus and is a handy break between sights.

November is much cooler than October, when the high reaches 32°C, but it's not winter-cold all day. A practical tip: check the Ganga Barrage before travelling across town for a riverside walk. It's outside the central sights, and a short visit can feel less worthwhile if the riverfront is busy.
