Your November weather guide
MildWeather in Rhodes in November
Rhodes in November suits a mild-weather break, not a holiday built around heat and swimming. Daytime highs average 19°C, nights average 16°C, and there are about 8 rainy days across the month. For a UK traveller, the appeal is comfortable weather for being outdoors without strong summer heat. The catch is that rain needs a place in your plans, and sunshine does not necessarily mean it will feel warm enough to sit by the sea.

Milder than London, but pack for changing temperatures
With London averaging a daytime high of 10°C in November, Rhodes offers a noticeable step up in warmth. That makes it a reasonable choice if you want to spend more time outside without needing hot weather. The warmest days reach 22°C or more, but do not pack as though those conditions are guaranteed. A T-shirt may suit a warmer afternoon; trousers, a light jumper and a jacket give you more flexibility. Nights average 16°C, with the coldest reaching 13°C or lower, so outdoor evenings call for an extra layer. Midday is a sensible time to make the most of the warmth rather than something you need to avoid because of intense heat.
Keep plans flexible, especially for swimming
About 6.1 hours of sunshine within 10 hours of daylight leave scope for outdoor time, but November is not reliably dry. With about 8 rainy days, take a waterproof layer and avoid making every day depend on clear skies. Plan longer outdoor outings for a favourable forecast, with room to change course when rain is expected. The sea averages 21.6°C, which puts it in the bracing category rather than comfortably warm. It may suit you if you already enjoy cooler-water swimming, but it is a weak basis for booking a swim-focused holiday. Bring swimwear if you fancy trying it, alongside dry clothes and a warm layer for afterwards.
