Weather in Chefchaouen in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 18.3 °C, lows 8.7 °C, and rain falls on 11 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Chefchaouen: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 11 days, 4 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average November reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 28.9 °C and the coldest night fell to -1.1 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 113 mm — roughly 80% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 18 mm in the driest year against 331 mm in the wettest, around an average of 141 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 4.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 78%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 7.2 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Chefchaouen's year — 10.3 hours of daylight against 14.5 at midsummer, losing 0.8 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 31.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

November in Chefchaouen versus nearby

If Chefchaouen is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Tangier is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain. Fes is a better bet in November — 3.4 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: November works, with May the better month by 16 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
