Your November weather guide

Weather in Spain in November

November is a good month for Spain if you want mild days rather than dependable summer heat. The country averages 19°C by day and 14°C at night, so layers matter more than a suitcase full of beachwear. For a warmer holiday, Gran Canaria is a stronger choice at 23°C by day. The catch is that Spain's national average masks differences between destinations: choose your base carefully, especially if swimming is a priority.

Sea temperature

The sea averages 19.5°C around Spain in November - warmest at La Palma (22.6°C). That is bracing: fine for a dip, cool for long swims.

Around 5.3 hours of sunshine a day on average, out of 10.6 hours of daylight (sunshine estimated from cloud cover).

November against the rest of the year in Spain

Which part of Spain in November?

What to pack for Spain in November

Based on the averages: light layers - warm in the sun, cooler in the shade; a light jumper for evenings (14°C at night); a light waterproof for the odd shower; swimwear if you do not mind a bracing 20°C sea.

Similar weather elsewhere in November

Within 1.5°C of Spain's November daytime average: Hammamet (20°C, sea 21°C), Fethiye (20°C, sea 22°C), Valletta (20°C, sea 21°C), Crete (20°C, sea 20°C), Madeira (20°C, sea 21°C). See the full ranking for November.

Where to go for warmer weather

Gran Canaria suits travellers who want to spend more time outdoors in light clothing, with evenings averaging 19°C. Within the island, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan, Taurito and Amadores combine 23°C days with 3 rainy days, making them useful choices if keeping rain interruptions down matters. Meloneras and Playa del Ingles have the same daytime warmth but average 4 rainy days. Playa de la Arena, Puerto de Santiago and Los Gigantes also reach 23°C, though their 5 rainy days suggest allowing more flexibility. Madrid is the coolest destination listed at 14°C: better suited to travellers comfortable with cooler weather than those hoping for beach temperatures.

What to expect and what to pack

Plan for a mix of outdoor time and weather-dependent decisions rather than assuming every day will be clear. Spain averages 7 rainy days and 5.3 hours of sunshine, so a light waterproof and flexible plans make sense. Those averages do not mean rain lasts all day, nor that sunshine arrives uninterrupted. Pack layers you can remove when the sun is out and put back on as temperatures fall towards evening. In warmer destinations, light daytime clothes are a reasonable starting point, with something extra for sitting outside later. If sea time is central to your holiday, check the destination temperature rather than relying on the country average.

A little more detail

Spain in November FAQs

Plain answers, grounded in the averages.

Where is the hottest place in Spain in November?

Gran Canaria is the warmest of the 87 places we track in Spain in November with an average high of 23.4°C; Madrid is the coolest at 13.5°C.

Is the sea warm in Spain in November?

The sea averages 22°C or more at Gran Canaria (22°C), Meloneras (22°C), Puerto Rico (22°C), Puerto de Mogan (22°C), Taurito (22°C) in November.

Is the sea warm enough for swimming in November?

Spain's average sea temperature is 20°C, while Gran Canaria and the other listed warmer destinations have 22°C seas. Those are better options if swimming matters, though comfort is personal. Do not assume the national average describes the water at every destination.

Will Spain feel hot in November?

Think mild to warm rather than consistently hot. Gran Canaria averages 23°C by day, and the share of days over 25°C there is 21%. That makes it a reasonable choice for warmth, but not a promise of hot weather throughout your stay.

How does Spain compare with London in November?

Spain averages 19°C by day compared with London's 10°C, so it offers a milder starting point for a holiday. Location still matters: Madrid averages 14°C, while Gran Canaria reaches 23°C. Choose the warmer destinations if that contrast is your main reason for travelling.
