November on the Kungsleden feels firmly wintry. Cloud often rules the sky, with frequent light to moderate snowfall and a few stormy spells that bring heavier snow. Temperatures sit mostly below freezing, with brief milder pulses that can turn snow wetter and, at low elevations, mix in a little drizzle. Sunshine is limited to short breaks between systems, and many days stay grey. Overall it is a cold, snowy month, with conditions switching quickly between dry overcast and active snow showers.
Starting in the far north, the trail quickly settles into overcast skies and regular snow. Light and moderate falls are common, and occasional bursts deliver heavier snow. The air stays below freezing most of the time, though brief thaws near low-lying lakes can make the snow wetter and even bring a touch of drizzle.
Crossing the higher plateaus and broad valleys, snowfall days outnumber dry ones. Several passing systems bring sustained snow, separated by quieter overcast interludes. On the exposed heights it feels notably colder, while lower basins can see wetter flakes or sleety moments during milder pushes. Clear spells are short before clouds rebuild and showers return.
Further south through forests and the last mountain ranges, the wintry pattern continues. Regular light to moderate snow is punctuated by a few stronger storms that lay down deeper cover. There are occasional brighter windows, but most days remain cloudy. Conditions stay consistently cold to the end, with frequent snow showers and some heavier episodes near the finish.
