Weather in Ródos in November

Prime time. November is about as good as Ródos gets. Highs average 20.4 °C, lows 17.4 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 6 of 12 in Ródos: 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; the day barely swings — 3 °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 6.6 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 60 mm — roughly 63% of the month's rain in one day.

November is moderately variable: 21 mm in the driest year against 205 mm in the wettest, around an average of 95 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 14.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 68%.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 4.4 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3.7 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip. Rain is the thing that moves: December brings 5 days more of it, so the earlier half of a flexible trip is the safer half.

Daylight in November

10.3 hours of daylight, losing 0.8 hours across the month. That is between Ródos's extremes of 14.6 and 9.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 20.3 °C in November — swimmable, but it takes a moment to commit. The sea peaks at 26.6 °C in August and bottoms out at 15.9 °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

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 Ródos versus nearby

If Ródos is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Antalya is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day less rain. İzmir 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.
