Macau Macau Weather in November — Climate Guide
November in Macau is Excellent
November is Excellent for Macau.
November is Macau's #1 weather month — 24°C / 75°F daily highs in 70% humidity (year's joint-lowest with December) make outdoor heritage walking maximally comfortable all day, rainfall drops to just 40mm (year's lowest), and the typhoon season is fully over. No major Chinese national holidays drive mainland tourist surge. The defining November event is the Macau Grand Prix (typically the 3rd or 4th weekend of November, 60+ year heritage F3 + GT World Cup + Touring Car races on the 6.2km Guia Circuit through Macau Peninsula streets — the only street circuit on the F3 world calendar). Grand Prix weekend transforms Old Town into a paddock + grandstand zone, hotels surge 2-3x normal for the 4-day race weekend, advance booking 3-4 months ahead recommended. Outside the Grand Prix weekend, November hotels remain at October post-Golden-Week pricing — accessible mid-tier. The canonical November Macau visit: target the 1st or 2nd week of November (post-Macau International Music Festival peak + pre-Grand Prix) for the perfect Macau weather + accessible hotel rates + outdoor heritage walking + Cotai Strip + Lord Stow's pilgrimage + Hong Kong day trip.
