Based on typical November conditions in Baltimore. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
Navigating Baltimore's weather in November means preparing for a distinct shift towards colder, often damp conditions. Average daytime temperatures typically hover in the low to mid-50s°F (10-13°C), but evenings can see mercury dip significantly, often into the upper 30s or low 40s°F (3-6°C), especially as the month progresses. The city experiences a moderate likelihood of precipitation, primarily as chilly rain or drizzle, though early season flurries aren't entirely out of the question, particularly towards Thanksgiving. Wind, especially noticeable near the Inner Harbor and waterfront areas, can make it feel even colder. To stay comfortable, layering is paramount. Begin with a moisture-wicking base layer, add a long-sleeved shirt or sweater, and top it off with a versatile, medium-weight waterproof or water-resistant coat. This outer layer is crucial for protection against both the chill and potential rain. For bottoms, opt for jeans, corduroys, or wool trousers. Footwear should prioritize comfort and water resistance; think sturdy boots or closed-toe shoes suitable for extensive walking around attractions like Fells Point or Federal Hill. Don't forget cold-weather accessories: a warm hat, scarf, and gloves will be invaluable for exploring outdoors or enjoying the city's festive early holiday markets, ensuring you remain cozy from morning strolls to evening dining.
