The Algarve region’s climate in November offers a mild transition between the hotter summer months and the cooler winter season. Average temperatures in Faro typically range from highs around 18-20C (64-68F) to lows of 10-12C (50-54F). While sunshine is still prevalent, it’s interspersed with increasing cloud cover and a higher chance of rainfall compared to the drier summer period. Sea temperatures remain relatively moderate, generally around 18-19C (64-66F).
Understanding the specific climatic conditions of this period is valuable for travelers planning autumn visits. The pleasant temperatures allow for continued enjoyment of outdoor activities, such as golf, hiking, and exploring the historical sites, without the intense heat of summer. November’s reduced tourist crowds and lower accommodation prices compared to peak season represent further advantages. Historically, November has marked the beginning of the quieter season in the Algarve, offering a more tranquil experience.
