Sapporo in November Snow starts to fall in earnest. The White Illumination and the Munich Christmas Market begin in late November, with the exact start date announced each year, and the illumination runs to mid-March. Rain and snow mix, so streets are often wet.
Daytime in Sapporo hovered around 9°C in November, cold enough to need a heavy coat. There were 16 rain days on average, roughly every other day. Individual years ran between 10 and 20 rain days.
With as little as 9.3 hours of daylight, the sightseeing day was short and dinner came after dark. Frost touched 9 nights of the month on average, enough to glaze puddles and shaded steps at first light. The lowest night on record was −7.5°C in 2016.
