Daytime and night-time in November

Nights average 12.1°C; one night in ten drops to 8.7°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 28.6°C (2019-11-01) and the coldest night 2.7°C (1999-11-23).

Is November a good time to visit Costa Blanca?

November is not the strongest month here: mild days. The best months for Costa Blanca on our scoring are July, June, August; months averaging 25°C or more: Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.

Comfortable by day, cooler after sunset

The daytime average of 18.5°C suits travellers who prefer being active without strong heat. There can be warmer spells: the warmest 10% of days reach 22°C or more, so a short-sleeved top may earn its place in your bag. That is a bonus rather than something to build the trip around. Pack trousers, a jumper and a jacket for evenings, when the average low is 12.1°C. The coldest 10% of nights fall to 8.7°C or below, making an extra layer useful if you plan to stay outside after dark. Think mild autumn weather, not a continuation of summer.

Enough sunshine for outdoor plans, with some flexibility

November brings about 5.4 hours of sunshine a day within 9.9 hours of daylight, so there is scope for time outdoors without expecting sunshine throughout the day. Put longer walks and relaxed outdoor meals into the daylight hours rather than leaving them until late. Rain reaches at least 1 mm on about 7 days, which makes a light waterproof a sensible addition to your bag. The catch is flexibility: fixed outdoor plans are less appealing than a schedule you can adjust to the forecast. These averages do not tell you how rain will fall during your particular stay, so avoid treating any chosen week as reliably dry.

The sea is bracing rather than comfortably warm

At an average of 18.9°C, the sea is better described as bracing than warm. It may suit you if you already enjoy cooler-water swimming, but it is not a strong reason to book November if you want to linger in the water. The year-to-year range of 18°C to 20°C stays below the 22°C benchmark for warm swimming, so even a relatively warm November does not change that judgement much. Pack swimwear if a dip appeals, alongside dry clothes and a warm layer for afterwards. For a trip centred on sitting by the sea rather than swimming, the mild daytime temperatures are a better selling point.
