Salt Lake City Weather in November

By the time November arrives, Salt Lake City is running on a cool crispness in the morning air, and daily plans start to reshape themselves around it. Averages sit around 10.4°C (50.7°F) by day and 0.1°C (32.2°F) after dark, with rainfall near 48 mm across roughly 7.5 rainy days — settling into steady stretches with clearing between. Daylight runs about 7.9 hours per day, shorter daylight that concentrates walking hours, and the season stamps its signature on details like the ski gondolas rising above Little Cottonwood.

On the ground, cold shapes the timing. Time around the Antelope Island causeway shows best in mid-morning light before the chill deepens; warm interiors — cafés, museums, shops near the Sugar House district — carry the middle of the day. Evenings run short outdoors and long indoors, which suits the local rhythm rather than fighting it.

Reading across 11 complete years (2015–2025), November in Salt Lake City has trended less predictable in recent seasons, with the last few years pushing daytime highs and rainfall patterns modestly away from the older normals. The 2026 signal so far tracks the recent shape rather than the long-run midpoint — meaning what you see above is weighted to how this month has actually been running, not a smoothed 30-year picture that masks the shift.

For travellers planning around 2026, this profile is the honest baseline. Match the packing list to the numbers — not to the month name — and you avoid the classic mismatch of arriving with the wrong shell, the wrong shoes, or the wrong daylight assumptions. The rest of this page breaks down what to wear, what to do, and how the season tends to run for Salt Lake City visitors in 2026.
