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.

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".
