Warm afternoons, with layers for later

The daytime average of 20.8°C suits walking around and sitting outside more than a holiday built around strong heat. Warmer days can reach 24.2°C or more, but only 5% reach 25°C, so pack for mild conditions rather than relying on hot afternoons. A T-shirt may be enough when it feels warm; a light jumper or jacket gives you more flexibility as the day cools. Average night lows are 16°C, with the coldest nights reaching 12.7°C or lower. If you plan to spend evenings outdoors, bring trousers and an extra layer rather than assuming daytime clothing will see you through.

Enough sunshine to enjoy, but keep plans flexible

November brings about 6.5 hours of sunshine a day within 10.1 hours of daylight. That leaves useful time outdoors, but it pays to make the most of the daylight rather than leave your main outdoor plans until late afternoon. There are about 6 rainy days across the month, so rain is a consideration without being a reason to rule out the trip. Bring a light waterproof and keep your schedule flexible enough to switch plans when conditions change. These averages cannot promise a dry stay: November suits travellers who can enjoy the warmth when it arrives and accept interruptions.

The sea is still suitable for a swim

At an average 22.1°C, the sea remains warm enough for swimming, which is a useful advantage if a dip matters to your holiday. The year-to-year range of 21°C to 23°C means it can feel fresher or more comfortable depending on the year and your tolerance. Air temperatures are milder than you might expect for a beach-focused trip, so choose a warm, sunny spell for swimming rather than treating it as an all-day commitment. Pack swimwear, but also something warm to put on afterwards. November works best if swimming is part of the plan, not the only reason to go.
