November on the Arizona Trail is a month of transition. Southern deserts often stay mild and mostly dry, with many clear days and highs commonly in the upper teens to mid 20s°C. Light showers or brief drizzle do appear at times. Moving north and higher, temperatures drop quickly and nights turn cold, frequently below freezing. Central mountains see occasional moderate rain, and by the Mogollon Rim and Colorado Plateau, recurrent storms bring snow. The high country can receive heavy snowfall with daytime temperatures near or below freezing and severe nighttime cold. Skies vary from sunny breaks to long overcast stretches as systems pass through.
