November falls within Jamaica’s transition period between the wet and dry seasons. In Negril, this translates to generally pleasant conditions with decreasing humidity, reduced rainfall compared to the preceding months, and sunshine interspersed with occasional showers. Temperatures typically range from comfortable lows in the mid-70sF (low 20sC) to highs in the mid-80sF (high 20sC). The sea remains warm, making it ideal for swimming and water sports.
This time of year offers a favorable balance for visitors. The lessened rainfall and humidity create more comfortable conditions for outdoor activities, while the still-warm sea provides excellent opportunities for enjoying Negril’s famed beaches and waters. Historically, November marks the beginning of the peak tourist season in Jamaica, as travelers seek refuge from colder climates in the northern hemisphere. The calmer sea conditions compared to the summer months also make it a good time for boating and other water-based excursions.
