As we head into the winter months, Bisbee starts to heat up! November in Bisbee is always an excellent time to visit. The average high temperatures are around 60–64°F and lows dropping to 33–37°F. The climate is characterized by plenty of sunshine and breezy conditions, with wind speeds averaging 8–13 mph. That means you will need a coat in the evening and perhaps a light jacket during the day.
