Saint John's Weather in November

November weather in Saint John's

November stays warm, with highs around 28°C and lows near 27°C. It's humid, and rain falls on 16 days, but you'll still get sunny spells. Showers can interrupt a beach day or a walk around the city, so keep indoor stops in mind.

You can browse the stalls at St. John's Public Market, visit the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, or enjoy the beach when the sky clears. Don't count on an uninterrupted day outdoors. Rainfall is lower than in October, but November is still much wetter than December.

What to do and what to avoid

Independence Day falls on November 1, marking Antigua and Barbuda's independence. Saint John's is the place to look for local celebrations, though events can vary from year to year. The city's churches and historic streets also make good stops between showers.

If you hate crowds, November is a calmer choice than the January-to-April high season. Travelling with kids? Keep a museum visit in mind for a rainy spell, then head to Dickenson Bay if the weather improves. Nearby islands such as Gustavia and Philipsburg have better weather this month, according to the data, so Saint John's isn't the driest choice.

Crowds, costs and a local tip

November generally sees fewer visitors than the busy winter months, so accommodation and flights may offer better value. It's not the quietest time everywhere, though: Independence Day can bring local crowds into town. Prices vary, so don't assume every stay will be cheaper.

For a practical rainy-day plan, visit the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda on Long Street, close to the centre. Then try ducana, a sweet potato dumpling often served with saltfish, at a local eatery. That gives you a taste of Antigua without relying on a long stretch of sunshine.
