Comfortable daytime weather, with layers for evenings
The temperatures favour walking around rather than seeking shade from strong heat. A light top may be enough during the warmer part of the day, but pack a jumper or light jacket for evenings and cooler spells. The warmest days reach 22.1°C or more, while colder nights can fall to 14.1°C or below, so a suitcase of summer clothes alone would be limiting. Midday is a sensible time to enjoy being outdoors if warmth matters to you. This month suits travellers who prefer mild conditions; it is less convincing if your main aim is to feel properly hot on holiday.
Keep outdoor plans flexible
Rain is a meaningful drawback in November, rather than something to dismiss when planning. About 9 days receive measurable rain, so bring a waterproof and shoes you are comfortable wearing in wet conditions. That does not mean those days are necessarily lost to continuous rain, but it does argue against a rigid outdoor itinerary. There are about 5.3 hours of sunshine within 10.1 hours of daylight, leaving scope for time outside without promising clear skies throughout. Put weather-dependent plans into the brighter parts of your stay and keep indoor time flexible. The balance works best if you can accept changing plans rather than needing reliable sunshine.
