Mild afternoons, with layers needed after dark

Expect weather for walking in layers rather than sitting out in swimwear. Average daytime highs of 17°C can feel pleasant during brighter spells, but warmth is not dependable: the warmest 10% of days reach 20°C or more. Midday is a sensible time for outdoor plans if you want the milder part of the day, rather than something to avoid because of strong heat. Nights average around 14°C, while the coldest 10% fall to 10°C or below. Pack a jumper, long trousers and a jacket for evenings. This is a reasonable choice if you dislike hot weather, but a poor fit if you want reliable summer warmth.

Rain is the main compromise

November is wet enough that rain should shape your plans, not just your packing. About 13 days receive measurable rain, with 214 mm across the month, so a waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet ground are sensible. That does not mean every day is a washout, but fixed plans that depend on staying outdoors are a gamble. There are about 4.1 hours of sunshine within 9.8 hours of daylight, leaving limited scope to postpone everything until late afternoon. Keep outdoor plans movable, make use of dry spells when they come, and leave room to spend time indoors. If persistent beach weather matters more than mild temperatures, November is hard to recommend.
