Weather & Clothing

November often provides warm and very enjoyable days - it gets a lot less predictable at these edge of season months, but you'll find it un-crowded, and for some the most enjoyable. We recommend a warm outdoor jacket and favourite sweater for the odd chilly day and for evenings. Day time peak temperatures range from 17 to 26 degrees Celcius.
