Comfortable for walking, less inviting for swimming

The daytime temperature suits walking more than sitting still outdoors for long stretches. Warmer days can reach around 19°C, so a mild afternoon is possible, but it should be a bonus rather than the basis of your plans. Evenings need a jacket, and the coldest nights can fall to around 4°C or below. Pack layers that let you adjust through the day, with something warmer for after dark. The sea averages 18°C, which is bracing rather than comfortably warm. That makes November a better fit for travellers who do not need swimming to be part of the trip; a leisurely beach holiday is not the sensible expectation.

Rain is the main compromise

With about 14 rainy days, wet weather needs to be part of your planning, not an afterthought. Bring a waterproof jacket and shoes you are comfortable wearing in the rain, and keep outdoor plans flexible enough to use dry spells when they come. There are about 4 hours of sunshine within 9.4 hours of daylight, so sunshine is possible without being dependable. Put longer walks into the brighter part of the day rather than leaving them until late afternoon. November suits a flexible break where a wet day would be an inconvenience, not a disappointment that undermines the whole reason for going.
