Coastal Alabama, specifically the Orange Beach area, experiences a transition in climate during November. Typical conditions involve mild temperatures, lower humidity compared to summer months, and decreased rainfall. Daily high temperatures average in the low 70s Fahrenheit (low 20s Celsius), while overnight lows can dip into the 50s Fahrenheit (low teens Celsius). Water temperatures remain relatively warm, generally in the low 70s Fahrenheit.
This period offers advantages for visitors seeking a more temperate beach experience. The pleasant weather allows for outdoor activities like swimming, sunbathing, fishing, and boating without the intense summer heat. Furthermore, the shoulder season often brings reduced crowds and lower accommodation rates compared to peak summer months. Historically, November has marked the end of the hurricane season, decreasing the likelihood of disruptive weather events.
