“

This rain... I can't help but feel it's odd for this rain to suddenly show up out of nowhere... This doesn't seem like a natural phenomenon...

—Rohan Kishibe, The JOJOLands Chapter 3: The Villa on Hawaii Island, Part 1

November Rain (ノーヴェンバー・レイン（11月の雨）, Nōvenbā Rein) is the Stand of Jodio Joestar, featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.

It has the ability to summon rain showers that Jodio can selectively make crushingly heavy.

Appearance

November Rain has a humanoid head and broad torso attached to a downward-pointing cone. Its face and neck are heavily creased with lines converging in the center of its face. It has a light, concave plate of armor covering the center of its face and neck, serrated at the top of its head. The armor is curved inward at its eyes and neck to leave them exposed, giving November Rain an angry expression. The armor also has a slit on each side below its eyes, small holes beneath the slits near its chin, and a single hole on its forehead. Oval-shaped armor covers each side of its head, split into three pieces. The irises of its eyes are split by vertical lines.

November Rain's torso is plain, but feather-like appendages project from the cone at its stomach. The cone itself is grooved horizontally, splitting it into four parts. It bears two congruent triangles connected to each other that are split between a dark and bright half, matching the symbol on Jodio's outfit.

Finally, November Rain possesses four long thin legs, with two emerging from the front out of its shoulders, and the other two from its back. Each leg is articulated with ball joints, and its front legs are thicker than the back.

Rain Generation

November Rain is able to produce localized rain showers within a radius of 3 meters of Jodio's body and a height of 4 meters; any supernatural properties held by the raindrops are lost upon contact with the surface of a body of water. The rain usually falls parallel to Jodio's own head-to-toe axis, which he can take advantage of by changing the orientation of his body with respect to the ground; while ensnared upside down by Wild Cat Size's Stand Cat Size, he is able to swing his body such that he is perpendicular to the ground and then direct November Rain's to make it rain horizontally.

November Rain is also not limited by needing to be outdoors, as it can produce rain within localized areas such as the interior of a building or a vehicle. Jodio has also shown the ability to direct the path of a single raindrop, using it to attack a single instance of Bags Groove hiding in Dragona Joestar's right lung without harming Dragona at all.

In addition, Jodio can use November Rain to create a barrier of rain, reflecting projectiles like wires from Cat Size or bullets from Glory Days that are headed toward him.

Heavy Rain

Jodio can alter the weight of the raindrops, making them unnaturally heavy. When the raindrops touch someone, they dig into the victim's skin; a significant amount of raindrops is able to completely crush a human. It is unknown how long the effect lasts, as victims have been shown to revert back to normal once November Rain's powers are called off. Jodio can also use November Rain to select what it will crush with its rain, having used it to destroy incriminating evidence in the hands of a DEA agent without harming her by destroying the plastic bag it is held in, while also piercing holes in surrounding police officers' shoes without harming them either. The rain's destructive power can be altered throughout the entire course of the fall, since Jodio is able to make the raindrops seep through a carpet without tearing it while still breaking the concrete floor beneath.
