Mild afternoons, but pack for cooler spells

A daytime average of 15°C makes walking more appealing than sitting still in beachwear. Warmer days can reach around 19°C or more, so removable layers are more useful than dressing for constant cold. The catch comes after sunset: nights average 11°C, while the coldest can fall to around 7°C or lower. Bring long trousers, a jumper and a jacket rather than relying on summer clothes with a light cover-up. Midday is a sensible time to plan outdoor time for warmth, but this is not a month to expect hot afternoons. It suits travellers who prefer mild conditions and do not need poolside weather.

Keep plans flexible for rain and a bracing sea

Rain falls on about 8 days during November, so allow room to move outdoor plans rather than assuming every day will be dry. A waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet conditions will earn their space in your bag. There are about 4 hours of sunshine within 9.7 hours of daylight, making an earlier start more useful than leaving everything until late afternoon. The sea averages 18°C, with a year-to-year range of 17°C to 19°C: bracing rather than comfortably warm. Swimming is therefore a personal tolerance call, not something to build the holiday around. This month works better if a swim is optional and a change of plan is no hardship.
