Daytime and night-time in November

The typical November day in Andalucia peaks at 18.0°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 21.4°C or more. Roughly 1 in 100 days top 25°C. Nights average 11.8°C; one night in ten drops to 8.4°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings - it is genuinely cool after dark. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest November day here reached 29.2°C (2009-11-01) and the coldest night 0.7°C (2019-11-16).

Rain in November

Sea temperature in November

Is November a good time to visit Andalucia?

Comfortable daytime weather, with cooler evenings

The main benefit is being able to spend time outside without planning everything around midday heat. An average high of 18°C suits walking and relaxed outdoor lunches, though it is not a promise of T-shirt weather throughout the day. The warmest days can reach 21°C or more, while the coldest nights fall to around 8°C or below. Pack light layers, a jumper and a jacket rather than relying on summer clothes. For travellers who find hot weather tiring, November makes sense. For anyone hoping to sit outside well into the evening in short sleeves, the cooler nights are the catch.

Allow room for rain and shorter days

Rain is a practical consideration rather than a reason to rule the month out. There are about 7 rainy days, so a waterproof jacket and plans you can rearrange are more useful than assuming every afternoon will be dry. Sunshine averages about 5.4 hours within 10 hours of daylight: enough to make outdoor time worthwhile, but not the long, bright days of summer. Aim to do your main walking during daylight and leave yourself flexibility when rain arrives. November suits a trip where you can change the day's plan; it is less convincing if everything you want to do depends on uninterrupted sunshine.

Think coastal walks rather than swimming

The sea averages 17.3°C, which is cold for swimming rather than comfortably warm. Even the warmer end of its year-to-year range, 18°C, is still bracing, so a mild afternoon should not be mistaken for warm water. A coastal stay can still suit you if the appeal is walking, fresh air and sitting outside when conditions allow. It is a weaker choice if daily sea swimming is central to the holiday, unless you already enjoy cold water. Keep the distinction clear when booking: November offers mild air temperatures, but the sea does not offer the warmth needed for a conventional swimming holiday.
