Weather in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in November

Prime time. November is about as good as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria gets. Highs average 21.9 °C, lows 19.7 °C, and rain falls on 6 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria barely has seasons. November scores 90 out of 100 against a best of 100 in June — a gap small enough that the month you choose matters far less here than the week you choose. Worth keeping in perspective: November is the weakest month of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's year and it is still a perfectly good one. The downside here is small.

Rain falls on only 6 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. 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; the day barely swings — 2.1 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 26.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 16.9 °C.

November is moderately variable: 8 mm in the driest year against 55 mm in the wettest, around an average of 24 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind sits around 18.3 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: 2 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 1.8 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's year — 10.8 hours of daylight against 13.9 at midsummer, losing 0.6 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 22.3 °C in November — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 23.9 °C in September and bottoms out at 18.8 °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

Quiet. Few other visitors, cheaper rooms, and a real chance some seasonal operators are shut.

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

November in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria versus nearby

If Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Funchal is the weaker option in November — 2.8 °C cooler, 3 days more rain. Agadir is close enough to be a coin toss — 4.4 °C warmer, 1 day less rain.

So: November works, with June the better month by 10 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
