Weather in Valladolid in November

Shoulder season. November sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. Highs sit at 13.4 °C and the day is short; this is an indoors-with-excursions month, not an outdoors-all-day one.

November ranks 9 of 12 in Valladolid: past the worst of the year but short of September, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Layers, and a genuinely waterproof outer — at 13.4 °C the difference between a good day and a miserable one is entirely down to what you are wearing.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 3 nights fall below freezing. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 23.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -5.3 °C.

November is moderately variable: 9 mm in the driest year against 90 mm in the wettest, around an average of 48 mm. Roughly two Novembers in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 10.5 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 82%, which at 13.4 °C means damp rather than muggy — the kind of cold that gets into a coat and stays there.

How November sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 6.9 °C cooler than October, with December dropping another 3.3 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in November

9.9 hours of daylight, losing 1 hours across the month. That is between Valladolid's extremes of 15.2 and 9.2 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.3 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage. At 702 m the air is thin enough to matter — sun that burns faster than the temperature suggests, and nights that cool off quickly.

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 Valladolid versus nearby

If Valladolid is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Madrid is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Gasteiz / Vitoria is the weaker option in November — within a degree on temperature, 7 days more rain.

So: November is a compromise. September is 29 points better and is what Valladolid is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
