Ngerulmud Weather in November

November weather

November in Ngerulmud feels warm, sticky and often wet. Highs reach 29°C, and humidity stays high. Rain falls on 27 days, with thick cloud and only a little daily sunshine. Showers can interrupt a drive or leave paths muddy, so keep sightseeing flexible.

You can still visit the Palau National Capitol and enjoy short stops around Melekeok between showers. Long walks at Ngardok Nature Reserve are less appealing after heavy rain, when trails may be muddy. Beaches are possible, but this isn't a reliable month for a long, sunny beach day.

Events and local life

There's no major annual festival centred on Ngerulmud in November. Thanksgiving falls in November, but it isn't a Palauan public holiday, so don't expect town-wide celebrations or closures for it.

If you hate crowds, you'll likely find the capital quiet. Ngerulmud is small, and November's wet weather can mean fewer visitors than in drier months. Palau's rainy season also tends to be a quieter period, which may make stays less costly than during busier months, though prices vary by property.

Tips for Ngerulmud in November

Travelling with kids? Keep the Capitol visit short and have an indoor break ready if rain sets in. The building sits away from shops and services, so don't expect to find much to do on foot nearby.

For a useful local tip, pair the Capitol with Ngardok Nature Reserve on a drive around Babeldaob. Ask locally about the reserve road and trail conditions before setting out; November's frequent rain can make access harder. A flexible plan matters more here than trying to fit in a full day of outdoor stops.
