mid-November
Late fall period
Mid-November is the middle portion of November, roughly the 10th through the 20th.
The prefix mid- attached to a month name indicates that approximate middle third: We're planning a trip for mid-November.
In the Northern Hemisphere, mid-November marks the transition into late autumn, often associated with preparation for Thanksgiving in the United States.
