November in SoCal is a time we all start to use our thicker jackets and sweaters. And, we also use our rain gear...we hope. 

November signals a change from warm to mild temperatures during the day and cool to chilly temperatures at night. 

What You Need To Know

  • SoCal temperatures begin to decline during the day and night in November

  • Inland cities become more comfortable with almost no need to run the A/C

November can bring big temperature swings across SoCal.  

One day we may be wearing a thick jacket, and the next day, we may be wearing shorts and a t-shirt. 

But November can be mild most of the time, minus any extremes.
