Weather in November in South Brevard, Florida

November in South Brevard is warm by day and mild at night, with a 1991 to 2020 normal high of 77.3 degrees and a normal low of 60.8 at Melbourne International Airport.

The National Weather Service point forecast for Palm Bay draws its current conditions from Melbourne International Airport (KMLB) (NWS Palm Bay forecast), so the airport record is the one behind the Palm Bay forecast. The NWS Melbourne monthly climate report for November 2025 lists the airport's 1991 to 2020 November normals as an average maximum of 77.3 degrees, an average minimum of 60.8 and a mean of 69.0, with 0.1 days reaching 90 degrees (NWS Melbourne November climate report). For Micco and Barefoot Bay at the county line, the same office's Vero Beach report gives a November normal high of 79.3, a low of 61.4 and a mean of 70.4, with 0.2 days of 90 or more (NWS Melbourne Vero Beach November climate report).

The month cools as it goes. The NWS Melbourne daily climate report for November 1, 2025 lists a normal high of 80 degrees and a normal low of 65 at the airport, with daily records of 90 in 2013 and 37 in 1993 (NWS Melbourne daily climate report, November 1, 2025). The report for November 30 lists a normal high of 75 and a normal low of 58, with records of 88 in 1978 and 36 in 1966 (NWS Melbourne daily climate report, November 30, 2025), so the normal high falls 5 degrees and the normal low 7 degrees across the month (80 minus 75, 65 minus 58).

Cool nights return to South Brevard behind the November cold fronts, and the lowest November reading on the Melbourne record is 30 degrees, set in 1966 and 1940.

The record book shows what a hard November front can do. The KMLB record low for the month is 30 degrees, set on November 29, 1966 and November 16, 1940, and the record high is 91, reached on November 5, 1992 and November 10, 1979, over a climate record that runs from 1939 to 2025 (NWS Melbourne November climate report). Heating demand stays small: the same report gives a normal November total of 38 heating degree days at the airport, against 159 cooling degree days.

November 2025 produced one of those fronts. A strong cold front early on November 10 brought well below normal temperatures across the NWS Melbourne area from the 10th through the 13th, with daily average temperatures around 20 degrees below normal on the 11th, and on November 11 Melbourne set a record cool high of 57 degrees, beating 64 from 1943, and a record low of 37 (NWS Melbourne November 2025 summary). Vero Beach, south of Micco and Barefoot Bay, set a record low of 40 that morning, beating 44 from 1991. The KMLB monthly report lists that 37 degree reading on November 11 as the lowest of the month and 87 degrees on November 8 as the highest (NWS Melbourne climate report, November 2025).

November is where South Brevard leaves the wet season behind, with 1991 to 2020 normals of 2.55 inches at Melbourne International Airport and 2.91 inches at Vero Beach.

The airport normal appears as the month to date normal in the NWS Melbourne daily climate report for November 30, 2025 (NWS Melbourne daily climate report, November 30, 2025), and the Vero Beach report for the same day lists 2.91 inches (NWS Melbourne Vero Beach daily climate report, November 30, 2025). The month is usually dry with a few soaking days: the KMLB monthly report gives normals of 3.9 November days with a tenth of an inch or more, 1.3 days with half an inch and 0.6 days with an inch or more (NWS Melbourne November climate report).

November 2025 sat far below normal. NWS Melbourne reported 0.39 inches at Melbourne, 2.16 inches below normal and the 7th driest November in a record dating to 1937, while Vero Beach, south of Micco and Barefoot Bay, measured 0.03 inches for its driest November on record (NWS Melbourne November 2025 summary). The wettest single day at Melbourne International Airport that month brought 0.34 inches on November 9 (NWS Melbourne climate report, November 2025).

A dry November in Palm Bay, Malabar and Grant-Valkaria opens a longer dry stretch: NWS Melbourne defines the Central Florida dry season as November through April in its seasonal forecast (NWS Melbourne dry season forecast).

Yes: the Atlantic hurricane season runs to November 30, and Hurricane Nicole in November 2022 and Tropical Storm Gordon in November 1994 both left marks on Malabar, Grant-Valkaria, Palm Bay and Barefoot Bay.

The season dates come from the National Hurricane Center, which states that the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 (National Hurricane Center climatology), so the season's final month is November for Palm Bay, Micco and the rest of South Brevard.

The NWS Melbourne post tropical cyclone report for Hurricane Nicole lists South Brevard readings from November 10, 2022: the WeatherFlow station listed as Malabar Indian River recorded a 61 knot gust at 0511 UTC and a low pressure of 988.8 millibars, the WeatherFlow station listed as Grant Indian River recorded a 56 knot gust, and gauge FL-BV-123, 2 miles west of Palm Bay, caught 4.54 inches of rain (NWS Melbourne Nicole report). The same report lists 2.98 inches 1 mile northwest of Micco.

Gordon struck in a different way. On November 15, 1994, a waterspout and tornado on the outer fringes of Tropical Storm Gordon struck the Barefoot Bay area near Micco; about 40 people were injured and about 63 mobile homes were destroyed, according to the NWS Melbourne history of November hazardous weather (NWS Melbourne November hazardous weather, 1994). Gordon later looped back and moved ashore a second time just north of Melbourne on November 21, 1994.

Two other November systems are on the same NWS Melbourne record for the Melbourne area. On November 9, 1968, a tornado described as a white swirling mass unroofed a building and broke plate glass windows at the Melbourne Shopping Center and Brevard Mall (NWS Melbourne November history, 1968), and on November 23, 1988, Tropical Storm Keith crossed the peninsula from Sarasota and exited just north of Melbourne (NWS Melbourne November history, 1988).

November 2025 was cooler and much drier than normal at Melbourne International Airport, with a mean of 67.3 degrees, 1.7 below normal, and only 0.39 inches of rain.

The afternoons at Melbourne International Airport were close to normal, while the nights were not: the average low of 57.2 degrees ran 3.6 below the 60.8 normal, and the average high of 77.5 ran 0.2 above it (NWS Melbourne climate report, November 2025). The same KMLB report counts 11 days with fog, one thunderstorm day and a highest gust of 36 mph from 320 degrees on November 11, the day after the strong front.

November 2024 had been the opposite at Melbourne International Airport, with an average low of 63.9 degrees and 231 cooling degree days, so the two most recent Novembers at the airport bracket the normal from both sides. NWS Melbourne described November 2025 across its area as around 1 to 2 degrees cooler than normal, with precipitation totals ranked within the top 10 driest Novembers for several sites (NWS Melbourne November 2025 summary).

The NWS Melbourne dry season forecast, issued September 30, 2026, headlines an increased potential for well above normal rainfall and severe weather from November 2026 to April 2027 across Central Florida.

The forecast covers November 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027 and splits it into two periods, November to January and February to April, with the next issuance due in January 2027 (NWS Melbourne dry season forecast). It is a seasonal outlook for Florida climate divisions 3 and 4, not a forecast for any single day in Palm Bay or Grant-Valkaria.

The ocean off the Space Coast is still warm in November. The NCEI coastal water temperature guide lists a November average of 78.7 degrees at the buoy 20 nautical miles east of Cape Canaveral and 74.5 degrees at Trident Pier in Port Canaveral (NCEI coastal water temperature guide).
