Monrovia Weather in November

November: rain easing

November still feels warm and sticky in Monrovia. Humidity sits around 85%, and that is the main reason the month rates only Fair, at 5.5 out of 10. Cloud cover is heavy too. Rain falls on about half the days, but the month is far drier than October, so you'll notice the difference. Showers can still interrupt plans, so keep city visits flexible. The National Museum of Liberia and the waterside streets around Mamba Point work well between showers.

Wet weather can leave the sea and roads rough for a while, so save long beach outings for a clear spell rather than counting on a dry day for every trip. If you have some room in your calendar, December to February is the best window, and December is already noticeably drier.

What to do

With that in mind, you can plan around the weather without giving up much. Explore central Monrovia, browse Waterside Market, or enjoy pepper soup at a local restaurant without needing a full day outdoors. For a beach visit, check conditions before heading to Silver Beach, since rain and cloud can make a long seaside stay less appealing.

Families with young children may find short museum visits easier than beach days that depend on the weather.

Liberia's Thanksgiving Day falls on the first Thursday in November. It's a national holiday, so some businesses may close while families gather for meals. Don't assume every restaurant or shop will keep normal hours.

Crowds and local tips

November sits between the wetter months and the busier, drier stretch from December to February. You'll generally find fewer visitors than in peak season, and prices may be easier on your budget, though holiday travel can add activity. If the weather is the real concern, nearby Freetown and Conakry both have better conditions this month.

For Waterside Market, ask locally about road conditions before setting off. Heavy rain can leave streets muddy or slow traffic, so a short visit is easier to adjust than a tightly timed cross-city outing. Monrovia's warm nights also mean you won't need to plan your evening around cold weather.
