Your November weather guide
MildWeather in Mellieha in November
Mellieha in November suits a mild-weather break, not a holiday built around heat and swimming. Daytime highs average 19°C, rain falls on about 9 days, and the sea is around 21°C - bracing rather than comfortably warm. For a UK traveller, the appeal is spending time outdoors without summer heat; the catch is needing flexible plans when rain arrives. Go for a change of climate, but keep beach expectations modest.

Nights average 16.4°C; one night in ten drops to 13.5°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings.

Milder than London, but pack for cool evenings
November brings a useful lift in daytime warmth compared with London: Mellieha averages 19.2°C against London's 10.4°C. That makes it better suited to walking and spending time outside than to lying still in swimwear. Even the warmer days tend towards mild rather than hot, with the warmest 10% reaching 21.8°C or more. Average nights are 16.4°C, while the coldest 10% fall to 13.5°C or below. Pack light layers for the day and a jumper or jacket for evenings. If strong midday heat is what makes a holiday for you, November is unlikely to deliver; if you prefer gentler temperatures, it makes more sense.
Keep outdoor plans flexible
Rain is a meaningful drawback in November, so avoid making every day depend on staying outdoors. About 9 days have measurable rain, though that does not mean each is a complete washout. There is still about 5.3 hours of sunshine a day within 10.1 hours of daylight, leaving scope for time outside between wetter spells. A waterproof jacket is a sensible addition to your bag, and it helps to move outdoor plans around the forecast rather than fix them in advance. Plan longer outings for daylight and treat beach time as something to take when conditions suit, rather than the basis of the trip.
