Pack for cold evenings, not just cool afternoons

The daytime average is manageable with a warm coat, but it is not a promise of mild weather throughout your stay. The warmest 10% of days reach 13.2°C or more, while the coldest 10% of nights fall to -2.5°C or below. Layers give you room to adjust without relying on a mild spell. Bring a scarf, gloves and closed shoes that stay comfortable in the cold, especially if you plan to be outside after dark. Use the warmer part of the day for longer walks and keep evening plans flexible. November is a poor fit if you dislike wearing winter clothing on holiday.

Make the most of daylight and keep rain plans flexible

There are about 8.7 hours of daylight, but only 2.1 hours of sunshine a day on average, so daylight should not be confused with bright weather. Put the outdoor parts of your trip earlier in the day rather than leaving them until late afternoon. Rain affects about 9 days during the month, making a waterproof outer layer and water-resistant footwear sensible choices. That does not mean every day is wet, or that a rainy day is a complete write-off. A flexible mix of walking and indoor breaks is more practical than a schedule built around staying outside. Expect grey spells rather than relying on sunshine.
