Surat Weather in November

November weather

November is dry and sunny in Surat, with warm afternoons and much cooler evenings. The high reaches 33°C, while nights can fall to 19°C. Rain is unlikely to interrupt your plans, so it's a good month for the Dutch Garden, Surat Castle and a stroll along the Tapi riverfront.

The afternoon heat can still feel tiring, especially on open streets. Save longer walks for the morning or evening, and keep indoor stops in mind around midday. Dumas Beach works well near sunset, but don't expect a cool day by the sea.

Diwali and local flavours

Diwali often falls in October or November, depending on the year. If it lands in November, Surat's streets and markets fill with lights and shoppers. Ghari, a rich local sweet, is especially tied to Diwali here; try it from a shop in the old city.

Travelling with kids? The evening lights can be fun, but busy market lanes may feel crowded.

Crowds and a local tip

November sits in Surat's popular October-to-January travel stretch. It's generally busier than the rainy months, and Diwali can bring extra shoppers and visitors. Prices may be higher around the holiday than in quieter months, though the city doesn't feel packed everywhere.

For a practical stop, visit the textile markets around Ring Road earlier in the day if you want to browse without getting caught in the evening rush. The area is known for fabric shopping, and Diwali makes it especially busy. Check local opening times around the holiday, as some shops may close.
