Weather in Italy in November

November in Italy is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.

A country pin in November is a warning: one region of Italy will not match another. Use a city page if you already know where you are going. Compared with August and January, November sits in the middle of Italy's year.

What to expect

Daytime

Mild afternoons in Italy are the prize in November. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.

This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.

Rain

November is the wet side of the year in Italy, the wettest stretch on these averages. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.

This is not a reason to skip Italy if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack

  • Rain jacket

  • A layer for cooler evenings
