Milder than London, but pack for cool evenings

The daytime high of 18.4°C is 8°C above London's November average, so Zante offers a noticeable lift in warmth without feeling like summer. This is weather for walking and spending time outside in layers, rather than planning around midday heat. Average night lows are 15.6°C, while the coldest 10% of nights fall to 12.3°C or below. Bring a jumper and a jacket for evenings, plus lighter clothes for brighter afternoons. The warmest 10% of days reach 21.2°C or more, so a pleasantly warm spell is possible, but it should be treated as a bonus rather than the basis of your booking.

Rain is the main compromise

November is wet, with about 12 days recording rain, so a waterproof jacket and shoes you can wear comfortably in showers deserve space in your bag. Rain does not necessarily mean losing the whole day, but fixed outdoor plans carry more risk than a flexible schedule. There are about 4.7 hours of sunshine within 9.9 hours of daylight, leaving scope for brighter spells without suggesting consistently sunny conditions. Put outdoor time earlier in the day to make use of the available daylight, and leave room to rearrange it around the forecast. This month suits travellers who can enjoy a mild break even when swimming and sitting outside are not always appealing.
