Your November weather guide
MildWeather in Naples in November
Naples in November is a reasonable choice for a mild city break, but not for reliable sunshine or beach weather. Average daytime highs are around 17°C, nights fall to around 11°C, and about 13 days have rain. Go if you are happy walking in layers and keeping your plans flexible. The milder afternoons are the main draw; wet spells and cooler evenings are the catch, so waterproofs deserve as much space in your bag as sunglasses.

Nights average 10.8°C; one night in ten drops to 6.8°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings - it is genuinely cool after dark. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest November day here reached 26.4°C (2004-11-02) and the coldest night 1.2°C (2017-11-28).

Mild afternoons, with cooler evenings
November suits travellers who prefer exploring without summer heat. A light jumper or jacket should be useful during the day, with a warmer layer for evenings rather than relying on the afternoon temperature to last. The warmer days can reach around 20°C or more, but that is a bonus rather than a sensible expectation for your whole stay. At the cooler end, nights can drop to around 7°C or below, so pack something you would be comfortable wearing after dark. This is weather for walking and taking breaks outdoors when conditions allow, not for planning your trip around hot afternoons.
Leave room to work around the rain
Rain is the main reason to hesitate about November. With about 13 rainy days, a waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet pavements are more useful than a suitcase built around dry weather. Keep outdoor plans movable rather than assigning everything to a fixed day. There are about 4.1 hours of sunshine within 9.7 hours of daylight, so brighter spells are part of the picture, but all-day sun is not something to count on. Aim to use the daylight for walking when it is dry, and be comfortable changing course when rain arrives. November works best if unsettled weather will not spoil the trip.
