November 2, a holiday in Yucatán

Yucatán has a few regional holidays that are not observed elsewhere in México. One of them takes place on November 2, All Souls’ Day; on this day, many families gather to prepare their mukbilpollo or pib and bid farewell to the souls of their loved ones. This is what is known as a “customs and traditions” holiday, which means it’s up to each employer or business whether to open or remain closed for the day; however, you’ll find state government offices and especially smaller, family-run businesses closed.

November 3: Festival of the Dead in Uxmal

November 16 and 17: Don't miss out on the Jicama Fair

Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 are your chance to take part in the 5th Jicama Festival in Maxcanú. In case you’re unfamiliar, there are no jícamas as sweet and juicy as those grown in Maxcanú, which makes this festival a must for both food and vegetable lovers, as well as cultural tourism aficionados. As it has in previous years, the Tierra de la Jícama collective welcomes you to marvel at this root’s versatility.

November 15 to 18: Buen fin, a good weekend

El Buen Fin, México’s alternative to Black Friday extends from Friday 15 to Monday, November 18. These days, a huge number of businesses offers special sales and discounts, which many shoppers await for a good part of the year. If you have shopping to do, make sure to stop by your favorite stores; if not, keep in mind that most major businesses will be much busier than usual.

On November 18 we commemorate the mexican revolution

The actual 114th anniversary of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution is on November 20, but it is observed on the third Monday of the month to force a long weekend. Monday, November 18 is a federal holiday, which means banks and government offices will be closed.

November 20 and 21: La obra que sale mal

The weather in Yucatán in november

In November, the Atlantic hurricane season starts to wind down as the temperatures start “dropping” in Yucatán. Throughout the month, be prepared for highs ranging between 26 and 34º C  (79 and 93º F) and lows in the 15 - 24º C (60 - 75 ºF) range.  

November usually brings little rain, and few rainy days; the humidity rarely subsides, though, and acts as an amplifier for both high and low temperatures. Don’t be surprised if you find 15º C hits different in Yucatán, as the humidity chills your bones; this feeling Yucatecos refer to as “heladez,” a made-up word that roughly translates as “iciness.” 

Keep learning and exploring Yucatán, and see "What to do for Janal Pixan?" and "Calendar of Fiestas and Fairs in Yucatán".
