Weather in İzmir in November

Prime time. November is about as good as İzmir gets. Highs average 18.5 °C, lows 10 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

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

Rain on 8 days, 3 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 29.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 0.8 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 65 mm — roughly 79% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 0 mm in the driest year against 277 mm in the wettest, around an average of 82 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 11.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, 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: 5.5 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 5 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of İzmir's year — 10.1 hours of daylight against 14.8 at midsummer, losing 0.9 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 — 28.9 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

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

November in İzmir versus nearby

If İzmir is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Ródos is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Bursa is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: November works, with May the better month by 11 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
