Your November weather guide
WarmWeather in Port El Kantaoui in November
Port El Kantaoui is a good November choice for mild days rather than reliable beach heat. Average highs of 21°C make time outdoors comfortable, but nights around 13°C call for a layer. The sea is also about 21°C, so swimming is more bracing than warm. For a UK traveller, the appeal is a gentler climate without intense heat; the catch is that rain and cooler spells can interrupt plans to sit in the sun.

Warm enough for relaxed days, not guaranteed sunbathing
November suits you if you prefer being outside without strong heat. Port El Kantaoui's average daytime high is 10.8°C above London's November average, a noticeable difference for a UK traveller. Still, days reaching 25°C account for only 11%, so do not plan around consistently hot afternoons. Light clothing should work during warmer parts of the day, with a jumper or jacket ready for later. The coldest nights can fall to around 10°C or below, making an extra layer useful rather than optional. At about 21°C, the sea may suit swimmers happy with a bracing dip, but it is less appealing if warm water is central to your holiday.
Useful sunshine, with room for wet-weather plans
There is enough sunshine to make outdoor time worthwhile: November averages about 5.8 hours daily within 10.1 hours of daylight. That is not a promise of clear skies throughout the day, so make use of brighter spells rather than saving all your outdoor plans for late afternoon. Rain falls on about 5 days during the month, which makes some disruption plausible without making November an obviously poor choice. Pack a light waterproof and keep your schedule flexible. This weather works best for travellers content to mix time outdoors with sheltered breaks, rather than anyone needing uninterrupted sunshine to feel the trip has been worthwhile.
