Tokyo in November

One of the best months for walking. Ginkgo color peaks from late November into early December, and the ginkgo avenue at Meiji Jingu Gaien draws the biggest crowds. Mornings and evenings are chilly, so a thin down jacket helps.

Tokyo saw 17°C by day and 9°C at night in November. A light layer covered most days. With about 8 rain days, showers were an occasional nuisance rather than the rule. Individual years ran between 3 and 13 rain days.

With as little as 10.0 hours of daylight, the sightseeing day was short and dinner came after dark. About 3 nights a month dipped under 5°C, cold enough to want a jacket for the walk back. The warmest year was 2023, with highs averaging 19.0°C, 2.0°C above normal. Cold snaps happened: the record low for November was −0.5°C, set in 2016.

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: May to October
