What November is like in Savannah

November is a fine alternative to spring. Highs are near 70F (21C), evenings are cool and crisp, and the humidity is gone. The SCAD Savannah Film Festival wraps up early in the month. Crowds are moderate and prices fair, and hurricane season ends on November 30.

It suits couples, families and anyone who wants comfortable walking weather without spring prices. It is too cool for most beach days. Thanksgiving week, around the fourth Thursday of November, is a pleasant time for a family trip, but check holiday hours at historic houses and museums.

Beat the crowds

  • Avoid St. Patrick's week unless you are coming for it. The weeks around it offer the same blooms with far fewer people.
  • Stay in the Victorian District or near Forsyth Park rather than River Street for quieter nights.
  • Take the walking tours and cemetery visits early, and save the afternoons for museums in summer.
  • Weekday trips in spring and fall are much calmer than weekends.

Know before you go

  • Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. Storms can close Tybee Island and prompt evacuations.
  • Sand gnats (no-see-ums) are worst in spring and summer near marshes. Bring repellent.
  • Historic houses and museums keep limited hours on holidays; check before planning around one.
