November weather forecast
Mauritania

November in Mauritania marks the advent of the winter season, offering a noticeable shift from the intense heat of the preceding months. The country's temperatures continue to decrease, providing more comfortable conditions for travel and exploration.

In the coastal capital of Nouakchott, temperatures in November generally vary between 17°C (62.6°F) and 30°C (86°F). The cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean helps keep the city's climate more moderate compared to the country's interior. In contrast, the desert city of Atar experiences temperatures that range from 16°C (60.8°F) to 34°C (93.2°F), with the colder desert nights contributing to this variation.

By November, the rainy season in the southern Sahelian zone has ended, and the entire country, including the northern desert regions, returns to a state of dryness. Rainfall across Mauritania is virtually non-existent during this month, reinforcing the country's predominantly arid climate.

Compared to October, November presents a significant drop in temperatures, marking a distinct shift into the cooler winter season. As Mauritania heads into December, these temperatures will continue to decrease, making it one of the most favourable times to visit the country. Despite the milder temperatures, visitors should remain prepared for cooler nights, especially in the desert regions.
