Plymouth Weather in November

November weather

November feels warm and damp in Plymouth, with highs around 28°C and lows near 27°C. Rain falls on 16 days, often in passing showers, so walks can turn muddy and views of the old town may come and go behind cloud. You can still enjoy coastal scenery and indoor stops, but don't count on a dry day for a long hike. The island is still within the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs through November.

What to do

Use brighter spells for views of Plymouth and the Soufrière Hills from safe, open viewpoints. The former capital sits in the exclusion zone, so you can't simply wander through its streets. If you hate crowds, November is quieter than Montserrat's January-to-March high season. Visitor numbers and prices are generally lower, though the weather can be less settled. Remembrance Day is marked on November 11; it's a solemn observance, not a major visitor festival.

A useful local tip

Travelling with kids? Keep plans flexible, since showers can interrupt outdoor outings. Ask a licensed Montserrat guide whether a visit near Plymouth is allowed that day; access rules can change with volcanic conditions. You'll get a much clearer sense of the buried town with local context, and won't risk crossing into a restricted area. November is wetter than December, but drier than October, so a short outing between showers may still work well. For a calmer, more reliable-weather trip, January to March is a better bet.
