Warm afternoons, but not relentless heat

Expect weather that usually feels warm enough for light summer clothes during the day, rather than the sort of heat that dictates your whole schedule. Around 60% of days reach 25°C, while just 1% reach 30°C, so November is a better fit for comfortable warmth than consistently hot afternoons. Midday is still a sensible time to take shade if you feel hot, and sun protection belongs in your bag. Plan swimming and relaxed outdoor time for the warmer part of the day, then keep a light layer handy as temperatures fall. If your holiday depends on strong heat every day, the cooler spells may disappoint.

Good swimming weather with little rain to work around

The sea is a strong reason to choose November: its average temperature of 26°C supports swimming rather than a quick, bracing dip. The year-to-year range of 25°C to 27°C also suggests sea warmth is a fairly dependable part of the trip, though personal comfort varies. Rain is unlikely to disrupt much of your holiday, with about 0 rainy days in a typical November, but that is not a promise of completely dry weather. Sunshine takes up much of the 10.6 hours of daylight, so make the most of daytime for the water and outdoor plans. A light layer is more useful for evenings than extra beachwear.
