Weather in Port Said in November
Egypt · 20-year averages, November
Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, November is the one. Highs average 22.3 °C, lows 21.1 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.
November ranks 8 of 12 in Port Said: past the worst of the year but short of May, which is the month to book if the dates are open.
Rain falls on only 5 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 — 1.2 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 28.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 15.2 °C.
This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 1 mm to 77 mm across the twenty years measured — a 76 mm spread around an average of 23 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.
Wind is light at 15.9 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 69%.
How November sits in the year
The month is on the way down: 2.7 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3.2 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.
Daylight in November
November sits at the dark end of Port Said's year — 10.6 hours of daylight against 14.2 at midsummer, losing 0.7 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 23.5 °C in November — comfortable for a proper swim. The sea peaks at 28 °C in August and bottoms out at 17.5 °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. November is the value pick for Port Said: it scores within 9 points of May without carrying May's prices.
Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.
November in Port Said versus nearby
If Port Said is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Cairo is close enough to be a coin toss — 4.2 °C warmer, 4 days less rain. Alexandria is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.5 °C warmer, 2 days less rain.
So: November works, with May the better month by 9 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
