North Charleston, SC – As November 2026 approaches, weather records from last year reveal a month of sharp temperature swings, unusually limited rainfall and two daily cold temperature records in the Charleston area.
According to National Weather Service climate statistics, North Charleston recorded an average temperature of 58.8 degrees during November 2025, while temperatures ranged from a high of 82 degrees to a low of 29 degrees.
Despite the relatively mild monthly average, two daily cold temperature records were tied or broken during the month.
November Brought Two Cold Weather Records The November 2025 climate summary identified two daily cold records, highlighting the dramatic temperature variations experienced across North Charleston and surrounding Charleston County.
The month's lowest temperature reached 29 degrees, with three days recording temperatures at or below freezing.
At the opposite extreme, temperatures climbed to 82 degrees during the month, demonstrating how quickly conditions can change during South Carolina's transition from fall toward winter.
Rainfall Was Also Well Below Normal November 2025 brought just 0.68 inches of precipitation to North Charleston.
Only four days recorded measurable rainfall, and the wettest day produced 0.54 inches.
The limited precipitation meant much of the month's rainfall was concentrated into a single day.
Extended stretches without measurable precipitation added to the unusually dry conditions across the Charleston area.
What November 2025 Means for 2026 For residents across North Charleston, Charleston County and the greater Charleston metropolitan area, last November provides an example of how late fall weather can combine warm afternoons, freezing temperatures and prolonged dry conditions.
The two daily cold records are particularly noteworthy because they occurred during a month that was not consistently cold.
However, November 2025's conditions do not establish whether similar extremes will occur in November 2026.
As the new month approaches, residents can use these historical observations as a reminder that coastal South Carolina's fall weather can change substantially within a short period.
Will November 2026 bring another round of temperature extremes, or will conditions remain closer to seasonal averages?
