November requires warmer layers as temperatures drop to 40–55°F, often accompanied by brisk winds off the Passaic River. For the 9 days of rain, a water-resistant mid-weight coat and warm socks are essential for the walk to the Harrison PATH station or the nearby Newark border.

Based on typical November conditions in Harrison. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.
November in Harrison sees the arrival of a true Atlantic chill, with the damp humid-subtropical air making the 40°F lows feel significantly colder. The local style shifts to heavy-duty commuter wear—puffer vests, wool coats, and sturdy boots are the standard for navigating the industrial-redevelopment district and the transit links to Manhattan. A significant pain point this month is the combination of cold rain and high winds; with 9 days of precipitation, the trek to the Harrison PATH station can be particularly uncomfortable without wind-blocking outer layers. Additionally, the open-air design of Red Bull Arena means that any late-season events require full winter accessories like gloves and hats to stay warm in the exposed seating.
A black rain jacket over an oversized graphic tee and olive cargo trousers handles mild rain practically. White lace-up booties finish the look with enough contrast to lift the palette.
A grey longline coat over an ivory blouse and black wide-leg trousers handles mild rain without losing formal intent. Black Chelsea boots and a mini bag keep it focused.
A black longline parka over a cable knit sweater in mild rain keeps warmth without overdressing. Black mule heels under leggings are an unexpected and intentional detail.
A navy trench coat over khaki bermuda shorts and a blue linen blouse works between seasons on a mild rainy day. Black pointed-toe heels sharpen what could easily be too casual.
A cream oversized puffer over a navy striped cardigan and wide-leg ivory linen trousers handles mild rain with a considered mix of textures. Black ballet flats are the restrained finish.
An olive anorak handles mild rain without abandoning the polish of wide-leg navy trousers underneath. The crossbody stays tucked and close.
A blush cropped jacket over a grey cardigan and black sweater mini skirt handles mild rain with charm. A black bucket bag and ankle boots keep the proportions balanced.
Wear a mid-weight down jacket or wool coat for the 40–55°F range. A beanie and gloves are recommended for the chilly morning wait at the Harrison PATH station.
November is crisp with 55°F highs, making it a good time for those who enjoy cool-weather city walks. With 9 days of rain, you'll want to have indoor plans, perhaps exploring the food scene near the Newark-Harrison border.
Insulated, water-resistant boots or sturdy leather shoes are best for the 40–55°F temperatures. You'll want warmth for the 40°F nights and protection for the 9 days of precipitation.
Daytime highs average 55°F, but it quickly drops to 40°F at night. The wind off the Passaic River waterfront can create a significant wind chill, particularly after sunset.
Pack a warm coat, sweaters, wool socks, and a knit hat for the 40–55°F weather. If you happen to catch a post-season game at Red Bull Arena, bring heavy layers for the open-roof exposure.
