Monthly weather and packing notes
November allows lighter daytime clothes, while a thin layer still helps beside the bay later on. Choose airy trousers or a skirt with walking shoes for the market and historic squares. Carry sun protection and a rain shell together rather than assuming late spring will stay dry.
- Daytime
- 23–27°C
- Evenings
- 16–20°C
- Rain
- Frequent rain and showers
- Daylight
- Daylight changes through the season; allow time for the island journey.
- Packing style
- Breathable clothes, sun protection and a light evening layer
Clothing planning bands use the calculated mean daily maximum (25.38°C) and minimum (17.81°C), rounded then expanded by 2°C each way. These are outfit prompts, not forecast limits or confidence intervals. Monthly values are calculated from NASA POWER MERRA-2 gridded daily data for 1991–2020 at the city coordinates. They represent a regional model cell, not a city weather station. Street shade, coastal exposure, elevation and urban warmth can differ. Climate averages do not predict an individual trip. Mean monthly precipitation is 127.64 mm, with 16.8 model days of at least 1 mm; precipitation includes water-equivalent snowfall. Complete daily records were checked before averaging all thirty years.
