A little milder than London, not a warm-weather break

Venice is only modestly warmer than London in November: its average daytime high is 2.1°C higher than London's 10.4°C. That is useful context when packing - think autumn layers rather than light holiday clothes. The warmer days can reach 16.1°C or more, so a removable layer gives you flexibility, but do not rely on that warmth. At the colder end, nights can fall to 2.4°C or below, making a warm coat sensible for evenings out. This month suits travellers who are comfortable spending time outside in cool conditions. If sitting outdoors in light clothing is central to your plans, November is a poor fit.

Leave room for rain and make daylight count

Rain is a meaningful drawback, not just a packing detail. With about 11 rainy days, it makes sense to keep outdoor plans movable and have an indoor alternative rather than commit every day to long stretches outside. A waterproof outer layer and shoes that cope with wet conditions are more useful than extra warm-weather clothes. There are about 3.3 hours of sunshine within 9.2 hours of daylight, so do not picture consistently bright days. Put your weather-dependent plans into the daylight window and use any sunny spells when they arrive. November works better for a flexible visit than for a trip whose success depends on dry skies.
