Weather in Budva in November

Budva in November suits a mild-weather break with flexible plans, rather than a holiday built around sunbathing. Daytime highs average 16°C, nights fall to around 11°C, and about 14 days bring rain. It is warmer than London, but the wet weather is a substantial catch. Go if you are happy to take walks between showers and keep indoor alternatives in mind. Choose another month if warmth and regular time by the sea are the main reasons for travelling.

Leave room in your plans for rain

Rain is the main reason to think carefully about November. With about 14 rainy days, you should expect wet weather to interrupt outdoor plans rather than treat it as an occasional inconvenience. That does not mean every rainy day is a washout, but a fixed schedule leaves less room to make use of dry spells. There are about 3.8 hours of sunshine within 9.5 hours of daylight, so plan outdoor time for the brighter parts of the day. Pack a waterproof jacket and shoes that can handle rain. Budva makes more sense now for travellers who can change plans than for those who need reliable sunshine.

Think layers and bracing water

The mild daytime temperature is useful for being outside without summer heat, but it is not a reason to pack only light clothes. A jumper and a windproof, waterproof outer layer will give you more flexibility, especially once the sun goes down. Average night temperatures are around 11°C, with the coldest nights reaching 6.5°C or lower, so evenings can feel distinctly cool. The sea averages 18.7°C: bracing rather than comfortably warm. Swimming may appeal if you already enjoy cooler water, but it should not be the foundation of the trip. Pack something warm to put on afterwards, and favour dry, brighter conditions for time beside the sea.
