Barcelona in November
Around 13.5 °C by day, sea 18.1 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
November in Barcelona is 13.5 °C by day and 18.1 °C in the sea. The beach season is over and the city works as usual: load 3 out of 5, with schools, markets and offices running normally. It gets dark early, and that is the first thing a northern visitor notices — the sun sets at half past five, and street life carries on anyway.
November is the best month for viewing a flat. In summer every place looks the same; in November you see what decides the winter: whether there is heating at all, whether the windows leak, which way the rooms face. Winter humidity here is 68%, there are 56 rainy days a year, and by AEMET's normals autumn is the wettest season. In a flat without heating that shows up before the real cold does. Barcelona scores 5 out of 5 for winter liveability: the city never shuts, so what needs checking is the building, not the town.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 56 rainy days a year, 68% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
