Rajkot Weather in November

November weather

Rajkot is warm and mostly dry in November. Afternoons can still feel hot, but mornings and evenings are much more comfortable. The average high reaches 32°C, while nights cool to around 17°C. Rain is scarce, with just one rainy day in the month, so showers are unlikely to disrupt your plans.

You can explore Jubilee Garden and the Watson Museum, then take a walk through the old city when the sun eases. November also suits a drive out to the Khambhalida Buddhist caves. Save longer outdoor visits for morning or late afternoon; the midday heat can make sightseeing tiring. Families with children may find the cooler evening hours the easiest time to enjoy a stroll.

Festivals and crowds

Diwali sometimes falls in November, though its date changes each year. If it does, expect homes and shops to light up for the festival, and Gujarati New Year celebrations to follow. The holiday period can bring extra local travel and busier shops, so check the calendar before choosing your dates.

Outside the festival rush, November is generally calmer than December and January, Rajkot's best-weather months. Stays and travel can also cost less than during that busier winter period, though Diwali may push demand up.

A local tip

At Jubilee Garden, pair the Watson Museum with a stop for a Kathiawadi thali nearby. The museum gives you an indoor break during the warmer part of the day, and a local meal makes a good evening plan. Ask for a thali if you want a spread of regional dishes served together; some can be spicy, so mention your preference.
