November in Fort Myers, FL: shoulder season for golf — playable with smart tee time selection. Best tee times: morning before noon for the most comfortable round.
| Average November Weather | |
|---|---|
| Avg daily high | 80°F |
| Avg daily low | 65°F |
| Rainy days | 12 / mo |
| Avg peak wind | 11.3 mph |
Put the three headline numbers together—80°F high, 65°F morning low, 11.3 mph peak wind—and November's scorecard story becomes clear: expect one or two clubs of adjustment on approach shots, a wider gap between morning and afternoon scoring conditions than the 15-degree swing alone suggests, and only occasional rain interruptions to manage. The 15-degree daily swing means the first few holes can feel genuinely cool, affecting club selection until the air warms up. At 11.3 mph peak wind, you're sitting right at the edge of the moderate tier; approach shots into a sea breeze will play longer than the yardage suggests, and short-game spin control becomes a real factor on exposed greens.
Rain drops off sharply from October's wet stretch: 12 precip days still means roughly two in five rounds could see some moisture, but that count is already down five days from October's 17. That combination of manageable heat, reduced rain, and light-to-moderate wind puts November solidly in shoulder-season territory—playable nearly any day, just not perfectly predictable.
Book afternoon tee times in early November to let the 65°F morning low warm toward the 80°F peak before you reach the back nine—this keeps you in the ideal temp window for most of the round. Demand for peak season tees picks up as snowbirds arrive mid-month, so secure weekend slots at least two weeks out. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
October is noticeably wetter, averaging 17 precip days versus November's 12, and five degrees warmer at 85°F—so the transition into November brings real relief from both heat and afternoon downpours. December cools another four degrees to a 76°F high and drops to just 9 precip days, making it the drier, more stable month at the cost of chillier early-morning tee times around 58°F. November splits the difference: warmer than December but much drier than October.

November is one of the more playable months on the calendar, with an 80°F average high and only 12 days that see any precipitation—making it the 4th-driest month of the year. Morning temperatures around 65°F are comfortable rather than cold, and afternoon conditions reach the top of the ideal 60–80°F scoring window. The main variable to plan around is the 11.3 mph peak wind, which can affect iron distances on exposed layouts.
November averages 11.3 mph peak wind, which ranks it the 6th-windiest month of the year in Fort Myers—squarely within the moderate wind range but well below what most players would call a difficult wind day. Courses oriented toward the Gulf or open to the southwest will feel this most on afternoon rounds when the sea breeze builds. Factoring in extra distance on mid-range approach shots is a reasonable habit throughout the month.
