Jersey City in November
Good time to visit
November starts decent but ends with proper winter weather moving in. You'll catch some nice days early in the month, but by Thanksgiving you're definitely thinking about indoor dining options.
Weather
November turns chilly with temperatures dropping steadily through the month. Early November feels crisp and pleasant, but by Thanksgiving you're bundling up against cold Hudson winds. Rain and occasional early snow add up to about 9 wet days, often as gray, drizzly weather that lingers.

All Months
Spring and fall are perfect. April through June gives you mild weather and blooming Liberty State Park without summer crowds. September and October offer crisp air and stunning sunset views from the waterfront.
Summer gets hot and humid, but the outdoor concerts at Liberty State Park make it worthwhile. Winter? Look, it's cold and windy by the water. But hotel rates drop significantly, and you'll have those skyline views mostly to yourself.
Avoid major NYC events unless you book way ahead. When Manhattan hotels jack up prices, Jersey City fills up fast.
