Daytime and night-time in November

The typical November day in Seychelles peaks at 27.0°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 27.6°C or more. About 100% of days top 25°C. Nights average 25.6°C; one night in ten drops to 24.8°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest November day here reached 28.6°C (2019-11-12) and the coldest night 23.9°C (1996-11-13).

Rain in November

Wet (more than 8 rainy days): about 17 days with 1 mm or more, 144 mm in total. Year to year it varies a lot - the wettest November was 2019 with 597 mm, the driest 2003 with 44 mm. Humidity averages 81%.

Sea temperature in November

The sea averages 28.2°C - warm enough to swim (22°c+). Depending on the year it ranges from 27.6°C to 28.8°C. For the warmest sea here, come in April (29.8°C).

Sunshine and daylight

Around 5.6 hours of sunshine a day (estimated from cloud cover), 12.2 hours of daylight: the sun rises about 05:53 and sets about 18:12 local time in mid-November. Average cloud cover is 55%.

Is November a good time to visit Seychelles?

It is a reasonable choice: hot days but expect showers. The best months for Seychelles on our scoring are July, February, April; months averaging 25°C or more: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.

Warm seas, with little cooling after dark

The warmth carries into the evening: average night lows are 25.6°C, only slightly below the daytime high. Pack breathable clothes rather than expecting much relief after sunset, and consider air conditioning if warm nights affect your sleep. Humidity averages 81%, so the temperature alone does not tell the whole story; allow yourself a gentler pace around midday. The sea averages 28.2°C, making swimming a clear reason to choose November. That tells you about water warmth, not sea conditions, so check local advice before getting in. This month suits travellers who enjoy warmth throughout the day and night, rather than crisp evenings.

Leave room for rain in your plans

Rain is the main catch. With about 17 rainy days, it makes sense to keep outdoor plans movable and carry a light waterproof that will not feel too heavy in humid weather. Sunshine averages about 5.6 hours within 12.2 hours of daylight, so there is still scope for time outside, but you should not expect clear skies throughout the day. These averages do not tell you when rain will arrive or how long it will last. Avoid building the holiday around a fixed run of dry days. If reliable sunshine matters more to you than warm water, November is a compromise rather than an obvious choice.
