Weather in Vancouver in November
November in Vancouver is a coat month. Treat it as cities, food and short walks, not as a terrace holiday.
In Canada, this is how Vancouver actually wears November, not how a country centroid would. Compared with July and December, November sits in the middle of Vancouver's year.

What to expect
Daytime
You want a proper coat in Vancouver in November, not a festival jacket. Wind makes the same afternoon feel sharper than the map suggests.
Outdoor time is the middle of the day. Finish plans before the light goes. Evenings are for indoors.
Rain
November is the wet side of the year in Vancouver, the wettest stretch on these averages. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.
This is not a reason to skip Vancouver if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
