Port-au-Prince Weather in November

November weather

November stays hot in Port-au-Prince, with highs around 31°C and warm nights. Humidity can make walks feel sticky, and rain falls on 11 days. Showers may interrupt time outdoors, so keep outdoor visits flexible.

You can still explore the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien and the Champ de Mars between showers. Save longer walks for when the sky looks clear, and don't count on a full beach day. December is much drier, so November's weather takes a little more give and take.

Holidays and local life

November brings All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, followed by Vertières Day on November 18. The holiday honours Haiti's victory at the Battle of Vertières. Expect commemorations and possible changes to opening hours around public holidays; confirm plans locally.

For history-minded travellers, Vertières Day adds context to a visit to the Musée du Panthéon National Haïtien. It's a more grounded way to connect the month's calendar with Haiti's past.

Crowds and practical tips

November sits just before the busier December-to-April period. Port-au-Prince may feel quieter than in peak months, and stays can cost less, though prices vary. If you dislike crowds, this shoulder-season feel may suit you.

At the Marché en Fer, a covered market, you can browse even if a shower rolls in. Keep small change handy for purchases, and ask before taking photos of vendors. For a quick local meal nearby, try griot—fried pork—served with pikliz, a spicy pickled slaw.
