Málaga in November
Around 16.5 °C by day, sea 17.6 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
November in Málaga is 16.5 °C by day and 17.6 °C in the sea. Too cool for swimming, the best time for walking the city: no heat, fewer visitors, and a month to go before the Christmas lights on Calle Larios.
November opens the wet part of the year: by the city's climate record, half the annual rainfall comes down between November and January. Málaga has only 46 rainy days a year, but they are short and heavy — a half-hour downpour rather than drizzle. Winter humidity is 71% — higher than in Alicante (65%) or Santa Cruz de Tenerife (66%), and worth keeping in mind when choosing a flat: in places without heating the damp shows up in November before the cold does.

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: 46 rainy days a year, 71% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
