Your November weather guide
MildWeather in Palma in November
Palma in November is a good choice for a mild city break, but not for a holiday built around heat and swimming. Daytime highs average 18°C, nights average 14°C, and there are about 8 rainy days. Go if you are happy walking in layers and changing plans when it rains. The main trade-off is straightforward: comfortable weather for being out and about, without dependable warmth for sitting still outdoors.

Nights average 13.5°C; one night in ten drops to 10.1°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 24.2°C (2013-11-07) and the coldest night 5.3°C (1999-11-22).

Mild afternoons, cooler evenings and some wet days
The daytime average makes walking more appealing than lying in the sun, although warmer days can reach 21°C or more. A light layer gives you flexibility when the temperature changes, while a jumper and jacket make sense for evenings. The coldest nights can fall to 10°C or below, so do not pack solely for the average. Rain is a meaningful catch rather than something to dismiss: bring a waterproof outer layer and shoes you are comfortable wearing in wet weather. Keep outdoor plans flexible rather than assuming a clear spell will last. November suits travellers who can enjoy mild conditions without needing every day to feel summery.
Use the daylight well, and treat swimming as optional
There are about 4.8 hours of sunshine within 9.8 hours of daylight, so plan your longer outdoor outings for daytime rather than leaving them until late. That sunshine can make a dry afternoon appealing, but it does not turn November into beach weather. The sea averages 19.2°C, with a range of 18°C to 20°C between years: bracing rather than comfortably warm. If you enjoy cool-water swimming, a dip may appeal; if you want to linger in warm water, it is a poor fit. Pack swimwear as an option, not as the basis of the trip, and have a dry layer ready for afterwards.
