Wilmington, NC – Rare November snow observations and temperatures dropping into the 20s made November 2025 an unusual month for Wilmington, with two daily snowfall related records broken at the city's official weather reporting station.
According to National Weather Service climate statistics, Wilmington recorded an average temperature of 56.5 degrees during November 2025, along with 1.80 inches of precipitation and two daily snow records.
The figures highlight a month of changing conditions along southeastern North Carolina's coast.
Rare November Snow Makes History The National Weather Service reported two daily snowfall related records during November, an unusual development for a coastal city more accustomed to mild autumn weather.
The monthly snowfall summary lists a trace of snow, indicating that snow was observed but did not accumulate to a measurable depth.
Although the amount was minimal, the observations were significant enough to appear in the station's daily record section.
The records underscore how even very small amounts of snow can become historically notable in coastal North Carolina.
Temperatures Dropped Into the 20s November's warmest temperature reached 81 degrees, while the coldest reading fell to 27 degrees.
The month's average high was 69.2 degrees, compared with an average low of 43.8 degrees.
Three days recorded temperatures at or below freezing, showing the contrast between mild afternoons and colder overnight conditions.
Meanwhile, Wilmington measured 1.80 inches of precipitation, with seven days recording measurable rainfall.
What This Means for Coastal North Carolina For residents across Wilmington, New Hanover County and the greater Cape Fear region, the November 2025 statistics illustrate how quickly late autumn weather can change.
The combination of freezing temperatures, limited rainfall and rare snow observations made the month noteworthy.
However, November 2025's records do not predict snowfall or similar temperature extremes during November 2026.
As another November approaches, the historical figures offer a reminder that coastal North Carolina can experience winterlike conditions before December arrives.
