Turks and Caicos weather in November takes a turning point as the islands transition from the “hot” months to the “cool” months. While the words hot and cool are on other ends of the spectrum, the reality is that the average temperature difference is a maximum of 10°F, so it’s really that big of a change.

Turks and Caicos Weather in November

While localized weather patterns can’t be predicted long term with accuracy, the Turks and Caicos temperatures in November tends to average between 25°C and 28°C (or 84°F and 76°F respectively).

November 30 is the end of the hurricane season (that officially began June 1). While there still needs to be a willingness to accept poor weather and be flexible with your plans, the likelihood of hurricanes should be reduced. Even if hurricanes do form but don’t make landfall on the islands, nearby tropical depressions or storms can disrupt air travel and create storm surges and flooding around the coast.

Turks and Caicos in November

The Turks and Caicos is a year round destination, but November is the transition month between off-peak and peak travel time in the Caribbean. This means there can still be some lingering resort and excursion deals before prices shoot up again.

Some people actually believe November is one of the best times to visit the Turks and Caicos because the prices are decent and the crowds haven’t achieved maximum size.

Mosquitos

While the Turks and Caicos are in the natural habitable range of mosquitos, they only become a nuisance when there is flooding, usually from the tropical storms. Also, November and December is about the time when the trade winds amp up again, which can greatly reduce a mosquito’s flight.

Tourist areas like Providenciales usually see far fewer mosquitoes as these areas are well maintained and have good drainage systems.

Grand Turk and Salt Cay also have less serious mosquito problems because these islands lack dense vegetation and there aren’t many natural sites that collect rainwater or form pools. They also experience breezes that disrupt mosquito activity.

However, North and Middle Caicos, Parrot Cay, and Pine Cay, have can be mosquito spawning sites after heavy rain.

Activities

Turks and Caicos in November is great if you love hanging out in or on the water. The ocean is frequently described to be at a comfortable, “bathtub warm” temperature with calm conditions. This is a great time for visitors because the rush of tourists hasn’t fully returned yet.

The ocean water is at a very comfortable 82°F, or 28°C.

Stand Up Paddleboarding

The waters around Turks and Caicos are warm year round and can be exceptionally calm on the shallow beaches. This makes stand up paddleboarding a great activity for families, kids, or people who want a more relaxed activity.

Some special tours using paddleboards include eco-tours you can take to see delicate ecosystems supporting nesting birds. Or, you can skim over clear waters near reefs and see vibrantly colored marine life right beneath your board.

Kayaking

Kayaking is great to explore beaches, shallow channels, tidal creeks, and around the cays. It’s a quiet and non-intrusive way to get close up pictures of wildlife like iguanas and birds.

Like paddleboarding, you can embark on kayak eco-tours that let you explore the Turks and Caicos’ natural beauty.

Snorkeling and Diving

If the sea is calm enough, snorkeling and diving are great activities to do when you’re in the Turks and Caicos during November. Crowds haven’t quite picked up yet, so you still have an opportunity to enjoy the snorkel and dive sites in relative quiet.

In fact, there are snorkeling tours that will take you out to several snorkel sites. Knowledgeable guides can help you identify the hundreds of different fish and describe the important coral reef ecology.

If you’re more comfortable with deep waters, diving is an excellent November activity. You can descend and scale walls that are dozens of feet to over 100 feet that are overflowing with life.

Events

Turks and Caicos Conch Festival

Every November, the island of Providenciales hosts the Turks and Caicos Conch Festival—a celebration of the islands’ national symbol and greatest export: the conch, a marine snail that for years has played an integral role in local cuisine.
