Weather in Kalamata in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 20.3 °C, lows 14.2 °C, and rain falls on 11 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Kalamata: 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 29 °C and the coldest night fell to 3.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 61 mm — roughly 60% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 6 mm in the driest year against 223 mm in the wettest, around an average of 102 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: 4.5 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 4.3 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Kalamata's year — 10.2 hours of daylight against 14.7 at midsummer, losing 0.9 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 21.2 °C in November — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 26.7 °C in August and bottoms out at 15.7 °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

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 Kalamata versus nearby

If Kalamata is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Pátra is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Athens is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 2 days less rain.

So: November works, with May the better month by 15 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
