Weather in Alexandria in November

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 24.8 °C, lows 16.4 °C, and rain falls on 3 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 3 of 12 in Alexandria. Only April scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 3 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 34.2 °C and the coldest night fell to 11.1 °C.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 51 mm across the twenty years measured — a 51 mm spread around an average of 13 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 10.6 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 65%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 4.5 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 4.2 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Alexandria's year — 10.6 hours of daylight against 14.2 at midsummer, losing 0.7 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 23.1 °C in November — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 27.4 °C in August and bottoms out at 17.3 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Alexandria versus nearby

If Alexandria is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Cairo is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days less rain. Port Said is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.5 °C cooler, 2 days more rain.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 3 points behind April, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
