Key West, Florida Weather in November

November weather

Key West stays warm in November, with days around 26°C and nights near 25°C. Humidity is still noticeable, but it's less rainy than October. Expect some showers: rain falls on about nine days, so a boat trip or snorkelling plan may need to shift.

You'll have plenty of comfortable weather for wandering Old Town, visiting the Ernest Hemingway Home, or taking a kayak through the mangroves. The sea can still be inviting, too. Avoid making a Dry Tortugas day trip your only outdoor plan; rain or rough seas can affect the boat ride.

Events and holiday crowds

The Key West Film Festival usually takes place in November, with screenings around town. Thanksgiving also brings visitors, and restaurants can be busy around the holiday.

If you hate crowds, skip Thanksgiving week and aim for earlier in the month. November is generally calmer than the winter high season, especially January and February, though prices can rise around the holiday. It's a good time for a city break if you want warm weather without the peak-season crush.

November in Key West: local tips

November's shorter daylight leaves less time for long outings, but you can still fit in a relaxed day around Duval Street and Mallory Square. Save a sunset stop at Mallory Square for a clear evening; performers and crowds gather there as the sun goes down.

Travelling with kids? The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is an easy indoor stop if a shower interrupts your plans. For a practical local tip, check the ferry status before setting off for the Dry Tortugas, then keep a flexible afternoon for exploring Old Town if the trip is delayed.
