Weather in Greece in November 2019: the end of the beach season? Water temperature and rain

When November comes in Russia, many residents watch the snow outside the window. Even in the south of the country beach season completed and the next will begin no earlier than six months later. They say that the weather in Greece in November 2019 is sunny, and the water and air temperature is around +22 degrees. Is this true and can we expect beach holiday in the homeland of Socrates in late autumn? We will try to find the answer together with you as soon as we get acquainted with the climate of the country and resorts.

Holidays in Greece mainly take place on the islands. And the islands are located in the Mediterranean Sea, where the climate is mild and the winters are warm in their own way. But this is unlikely to save you if you fly to Greece for a holiday in November. Sunny weather is already quite possible, but it’s not possible to swim in the sea every day, and sunbathing on the seashore is a rarity.

The most popular Greek islands are Rhodes and Crete. And these are the hottest islands this month. On average, the air here is warmed up to +20 degrees during the day. 3-4 times a month, the temperature at lunchtime easily goes over +25, and usually this is in the first half of the month. Other popular islands like Kos and Corfu are a bit cooler. It is about +18 during the day here, but there are also bursts of heat.

As night falls, the temperature drops rapidly. Somewhere up to +15, and somewhere up to +7 degrees. But in any case, in the evenings you will have to put on warm clothes, and sometimes take an umbrella with you, since it rains very actively at this time of the year.

On average, the islands experience 5 to 7 rainy days. Precipitation falls different amount, and if on Rhodes there are about 90 millimeters, then on Corfu there is just a flood and at least 190 millimeters of precipitation.

You can go to Greece only for two reasons: to the sea and to the sights. And in November, it is best to choose the second option, as the sea can be cold. In some areas, the water temperature is still high and not lower than +22 degrees, but already in the middle of the month the sea becomes +18 everywhere, and swimming in such water is simply impossible. Plus, the wind often blows, waves on the sea and this causes additional inconvenience.

Ilya.

“During the day in Crete it was up to +28, and in the evening it became cold. Sunny during the day, clouds in the evening and it often rains. It’s not very convenient to relax here with children at this time, since you can go to the beach closer to dinner, and they ask from the very morning, when it’s cool and the water is invigorating.”

Vika.

“We had a great rest, although the weather sometimes failed. During the day it was often hot and the sun was shining, but there were also cloudy days. AT bad weather it is best to go on an excursion to continental Greece. But you can take a ferry to the neighboring islands, there is something to be surprised there. The sea is warm, but not always calm. AT strong wind strong waves and no swimming. In general, the rest is normal, but a month earlier it would have been better!
