Weather in Ioánnina in November

Shoulder season. November is shoulder season in Ioánnina — cheaper, quieter, and a genuine gamble. Highs average 15.6 °C, lows 7.9 °C, and rain falls on 12 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

This is wet-season rain: 12 wet days and 5 genuinely heavy ones, which in this climate means concentrated downpours rather than all-day grey. The pattern is usually a clear morning and a loud afternoon, so front-load the day and stop fighting the 3pm hour. Pack for 15.6 °C days and 7.9 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

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 27.3 °C and the coldest night fell to -3.3 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 57 mm — roughly 41% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 16 mm in the driest year against 318 mm in the wettest, around an average of 138 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 6.7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 79%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 5.6 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 4.9 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Ioánnina's year — 10 hours of daylight against 15 at midsummer, losing 1 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 — 30.3 °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 Ioánnina versus nearby

If Ioánnina is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Lárisa is a better bet in November — 2.4 °C warmer, 3 days less rain. Pátra is a better bet in November — 3.7 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: November is a compromise. May is 26 points better and is what Ioánnina is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
