Warm enough for swimming, with mild evenings

The sea is a strong reason to choose November: at around 27°C, swimming should feel comfortable rather than bracing. On land, 83% of days reach 25°C, while only 1% reach 30°C, so this is a good fit if you want warmth without frequent very hot afternoons. Humidity averages 75%, though, so the air can still feel sticky; keep strenuous activity away from midday if heat bothers you. Average night lows of 23.2°C mean evenings generally stay warm. Pack light, breathable clothes, swimwear and a light layer for cooler spells rather than a wardrobe built around chilly nights. November is cooler by Varadero standards, but it is not cool beach weather.

Leave room for rain and cloud

The catch is that November is still a wet-weather proposition, with about 8 rainy days. That does not mean writing off those days, but it does mean keeping outdoor plans movable and packing a light waterproof. Average sunshine is about 5.9 hours within 10.9 hours of daylight, so expect a mix rather than sunshine throughout the day. Make use of brighter conditions when they arrive instead of fixing every swim or outdoor outing in advance. If your main aim is warmth and a swimmable sea, that compromise may be easy to accept. If persistent sunshine is essential to your holiday, November is a less straightforward choice.
