Milder than London, but pack for cool evenings

November’s average daytime high is 17.6°C, compared with 10.4°C in London, so Mykonos offers a noticeable lift in temperature without feeling hot. Walking and spending time outside are a better fit than planning around midday beach heat. The warmer days can reach 20.5°C or more, but treat that as a bonus rather than the basis for your packing. Average night lows are 14.9°C, with the coldest nights reaching 11.4°C or below. Bring light layers for daytime, plus a jumper and jacket for evenings. This is a reasonable choice if you dislike strong heat, but not if reliable warmth is the main reason for travelling.

Make the most of daylight and leave room for rain

There is enough sunshine to make outdoor plans worthwhile, but not enough to assume every day will be clear. November averages about 5.4 hours of sunshine within 9.9 hours of daylight, so aim to do your outdoor wandering during the brighter part of the day rather than leaving it until late afternoon. About 6 days have measurable rain: a reason to pack a waterproof jacket, not to write off the month as continually wet. Keep your plans flexible so you can make use of dry spells. If your holiday depends on sitting outside in sunshine all day, November is a less convincing choice than June, July or August.
