Weather in Firá in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 17.4 °C, lows 15.6 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 8 of 12 in Firá: past the worst of the year but short of June, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 17.4 °C days and 15.6 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 1.7 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 23.6 °C and the coldest night fell to 8.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 42 mm — roughly 66% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 12 mm in the driest year against 121 mm in the wettest, around an average of 64 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 18.5 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity runs at 76%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 3.1 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 2.9 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

10.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Firá's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

Despite being inland, the year stays fairly even: 14.5 °C between the year's warmest afternoons and coldest nights.

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 Firá versus nearby

If Firá is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Chaniá is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.7 °C warmer, 3 days more rain. Athens is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November is a compromise. June is 24 points better and is what Firá is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
