Mild afternoons, cooler evenings

Expect weather for walking in layers rather than sitting outside in summer clothes. The average daytime high is 16.9°C, compared with London's 10.4°C, so Puglia offers a noticeable lift in temperature without being reliably warm. Milder days can reach 20.4°C or more, making a lighter layer useful, but that is not the everyday expectation. Nights average 12.1°C, with colder nights dropping to 8.4°C or below. Pack a jumper and a jacket you will be happy wearing after dark. This month suits travellers who prefer being active in mild conditions; it is a poor choice if warmth throughout the day and evening is essential.

Keep outdoor plans flexible

Rain is a meaningful part of the November trade-off, with about 9 days receiving measurable rainfall. Leave room to move outdoor plans around rather than depending on dry weather every day. A waterproof jacket and shoes that cope with wet ground are more useful than packing mainly for sunshine. The sea averages 17.2°C and stays within a cold 16°C to 18°C range across years, so do not make comfortable swimming the reason for travelling. Coastal time is better approached as a chance to be outdoors when conditions allow. Go if you can accept a weather-led pace; choose another month if your holiday depends on long, warm beach days.
