Tallahassee, FL – With November 2026 approaching, weather records from last year reveal an unusually dry month in Florida's capital, accompanied by sharp temperature swings and three daily weather records that were broken or tied.
According to National Weather Service climate statistics, Tallahassee International Airport recorded just 0.10 inches of precipitation during November 2025, making it one of the driest Novembers in the station's historical record.
The exceptionally limited rainfall was accompanied by temperatures ranging from 26 to 86 degrees.
November Brought Almost No Rain Only three days produced measurable precipitation during November 2025.
The month's wettest day delivered just 0.06 inches, leaving Tallahassee with a rainfall total far below its historical November average.
The unusually dry conditions affected the official Tallahassee reporting station in Leon County, part of the greater North Florida region.
The month also included extended stretches without measurable rainfall, illustrating how persistent dry weather can become during late fall.
Three Daily Weather Records Marked the Month November 2025 produced three daily temperature records that were either broken or tied.
The month's average temperature was 60.4 degrees, with an average high of 76.1 degrees and an average low of 44.6 degrees.
Temperatures reached 86 degrees during the warmest period but dropped to 26 degrees during the coldest.
Three days recorded temperatures at or below freezing, demonstrating that unusually warm afternoons can occur during the same month as freezing overnight conditions.
What November 2025 Could Mean for 2026 For residents across Tallahassee, Leon County and the surrounding Big Bend region, November 2025 provides a historical example of how extreme rainfall shortages and substantial temperature changes can occur together.
The combination of three daily temperature records and exceptionally low rainfall makes the month particularly noteworthy.
However, last November's weather does not establish what conditions will develop during November 2026.
As the region approaches another November, the question is whether North Florida will experience more typical rainfall or another unusually dry month accompanied by significant temperature swings.
