Comfortable afternoons, cooler evenings

November's warmth is better suited to spending time outdoors than relying on sunbathing weather. A light top may be enough on a mild afternoon, but take a jumper or jacket for later: average night-time lows are 14.5°C. The coldest 10% of nights fall to 11.6°C or below, so packing only summer clothes would be a mistake. There can be warmer spells, with the warmest 10% of days reaching 23.2°C or more. Even so, only 2% of days reach 25°C. Choose November if gentle warmth appeals; it is a less convincing choice if strong heat is the main reason for travelling.

Plan around shorter days and some rain

Expect a mix of sunshine and weather that calls for flexibility, rather than uninterrupted clear skies. November averages about 5.4 hours of sunshine within 10 hours of daylight, so make use of the brighter part of the day for outdoor plans. About 7 days have measurable rain, which makes a light waterproof a sensible addition to your bag. That does not mean those days are wet throughout, but it does mean a completely rain-free holiday is not something to count on. Keep your schedule loose enough to move outdoor time around, and avoid leaving everything until late in the day.

Treat swimming as an option, not the whole plan

The sea averages 21°C, which falls in the bracing range rather than the comfortably warm swimming category. If you enjoy cooler water, a swim may still appeal; if you prefer a warm sea, November is a compromise. The year-to-year range is 20°C to 22°C, so it is better not to build the trip around an expectation of warm water. Pack swimwear if you are tempted, but give equal space to clothes for dry-land days and cooler evenings. Hammamet makes more sense this month for travellers happy to mix occasional swimming with time outdoors than for those wanting a reliably hot beach holiday.
