Your November weather guide
MildWeather in Saranda in November
Saranda in November suits a mild-weather break with flexible plans, rather than a holiday built around sunbathing. Daytime temperatures average about 17°C, but roughly 13 rainy days make waterproofs more useful than a beach-only packing list. The sea sits near 20°C, so swimming is bracing rather than comfortably warm. Go if you are happy to take walks between showers and adjust your day to the forecast; choose another month if reliable warmth is the priority.

Mild afternoons, but rain is the main catch
The daytime warmth is enough to make time outdoors appealing when it stays dry, but November is a wet month, not simply a cooler version of summer. With about 4.2 hours of sunshine within 9.8 hours of daylight, plan outdoor time around brighter spells rather than expecting a full day in the sun. A waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with rain deserve space in your bag. Keep plans flexible enough to change if the forecast turns wet, and do not leave your main walk until late in the day. This month is a better fit for travellers who can enjoy a mixed-weather break than those relying on daily outdoor plans.
Pack for cool evenings and optional swims
A daytime high of about 17°C can feel pleasant enough for a walk, but it does not tell the whole story. Nights average about 10°C, and the coldest nights can fall to around 6°C or lower, so bring a jumper and a jacket rather than relying on light daytime clothes. The sea averages 19.9°C, which puts it in the bracing category. Swimming is an option if you already enjoy cooler water, but it should not be the main reason to book. Pack something warm to put on afterwards, and treat any swim as an addition to the trip rather than an activity you will necessarily want every day.
