Comfortable afternoons, cooler evenings

The daytime average makes November a reasonable choice for travellers who find summer heat tiring. You can plan walks without expecting hot conditions, though a sunny, sheltered spot may feel warm enough for lighter clothing. The warmest days can reach 22.3°C or more, but days reaching 25°C account for just 3%, so do not build your plans around them. Pack light layers, long trousers and a jacket for after dark. The coldest nights can fall to 8.2°C or lower, making a warmer layer useful if you intend to spend evenings outside rather than heading straight indoors.

Useful sunshine, with room for rain

Expect some sunshine rather than uninterrupted blue skies: November averages about 5.3 hours of sunshine within 9.9 hours of daylight. That leaves useful time for outdoor plans, but it makes sense to put your weather-dependent activities in the brighter part of the day. There are about 6 rainy days, so a light waterproof is a sensible addition to your bag. Rain is a possible interruption, not a reason to rule the month out altogether. Keep your schedule flexible enough to move a walk or time by the sea when showers arrive, and have an indoor alternative in mind.

The sea is the main compromise

At 18.9°C, the sea is bracing rather than comfortably warm. Its November range of 18°C to 20°C means even a warmer year does not turn this into a reliably warm-water holiday. Swimming is best treated as an optional dip for people comfortable with cool water, not the centre of the trip. Bring something warm to put on afterwards, especially if the air feels cool. Time beside the sea is a more dependable prospect than long swims, with layers letting you adjust to changing conditions. If warm water matters more than mild walking weather, November is a compromise.
