For New Jersey, temperatures take a steep decline during November. Our mean high temperature, or all the high temperatures added together, then divided by the number of days, is just 55 degrees. This is a significant difference from October’s mean temperature of 66 degrees. Throughout the month, average high temperatures reach from 60 degrees on Nov. 1st to 50 degrees on Nov. 30. However, with high temperatures on Friday, Nov. 1st reaching the high 70s and low 80s, the month has started unseasonably warm!
The average precipitation for November is 3.33 inches. This isn’t that different from October’s average which is 3.79”. But as seen after a record dry October, just because we typically see something happening in our area’s climatology, doesn’t mean we will see it happen this month.
Sunrises, sunsets, and amount of daylight also change drastically in the 11th month. Part of this is due to the time change that will happen the first weekend of the month, which bumps sunrise and sunset times back an hour. The other part is due to the amount of daylight hours getting shorter as we approach the Winter Solstice in December, which is the day with the shortest amount of daylight. November 1st's sunrise time for Newark is 7:27 a.m. By Nov. 30, the sun will rise at 7 a.m. The beginning of the month saw sunset at 5:52 p.m. While by the end we will say goodnight to the sun at 4:29 p.m.
