Where Is Hot in November 2026?
Where is hot in November 2026
November is the month the answer moves a long way from home. Nowhere in Europe is warm any more, the Caribbean has just come out of hurricane season, and the Gulf and Southeast Asia are entering their best months of the year.
74 of the 125 destinations we measured averaged 24°C (75°F) or more in November. The hottest and driest was Muscat, Oman at 30°C (87°F) with 1 rainy day. The cheapest genuinely hot one was Kochi, at 14 on a cost index where New York is 100. And Tenerife, the one most British travellers name first, averaged 21°C (69°F) with rain on 9 days. It is mild, not hot.
The best places to travel in November: the top 20
The twenty hottest, counting only the places people actually go on holiday. Every figure is measured, and hovering any box says why it is the colour it is.

Muscat is the capital and most populous city of Oman.
November is Muscat at its best, warm from breakfast and dry enough to book an outdoor day and get it.
The sea is warm enough to stay in rather than dip and get out, so the beach is somewhere you spend the day and not somewhere you visit.
Rain fell on one day in the whole month.

One thing to weigh: Mexico records 24.9 homicides per 100,000 people. That is a country figure and not a Puerto Vallarta figure, but it is why pre-booked transfers are the norm here rather than an upsell.

Warmest places in November you can reach non-stop from the US

Warm places to visit in November: where the sea is swimmable
Air temperature sells the holiday and sea temperature decides whether you get in the water. Nobody publishes this next to the air figure, so here it is. Below about 22°C most people last a few minutes.

Which November sun destinations sit in cyclone season
November is cyclone season in the southern hemisphere, and the lists that recommend these places for winter sun almost never mention it. This is not a forecast. It is what happened, counted across 41 Novembers.

Manila, Philippines is the one to think about: a tropical system came within 200 km in 41% of Novembers since 1985, and 27% of those reached hurricane strength. It is still a fine holiday. It is just not a risk-free one, and travel insurance is worth reading before you book.
Where is hot and cheap in November
This is the question the rest of the internet answers with adjectives. Here it is with numbers. The index is relative to New York at 100, so 14 means roughly 14% of New York prices on the ground.

Kochi is the answer on the numbers: 30°C, 12 rainy days, and an index of 14. The catch is the flight. India is not a short hop from anywhere in Europe.
Where is hot in November short haul from the UK
Seven hours or less and direct from a UK airport, warmest first. Only 17 of them clear 24°C, which is the honest answer to this question: short haul from the UK in November means mild, not hot.

Where is warm in Europe in November
Warm, not hot. Nowhere in Europe averages 24°C in November, and the brochures that imply otherwise are rounding a long way up. The sunshine column is hours a day. The big travel sites publish a percentage instead and never say a percentage of what.

Madeira deserves a note, because it appears on every November list. It averages 21°C (70°F), which is genuinely pleasant, and it rains on 8 days out of 30. That is not a failure of Madeira. It is a subtropical island in the Atlantic in winter, and the greenery you go for is paid for in rain. Book it for walking, not for a fortnight by a pool.
Where is hot in November: your questions
Where is warm in November and cheap?
Kochi, India on the numbers: 30°C (87°F) and a cost index of 14 against New York at 100. In the Caribbean and Latin America the cheapest genuinely hot options were Merida, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta.
Which countries are hot in November?
74 destinations across 48 countries averaged 24°C or more. The reliable groups are the Gulf, the Indian Ocean and South Asia, West Africa, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and the southern hemisphere, where November is in the southern summer half of the year.
Where is over 20 degrees in November in Europe?
Seville (29°C), Lanzarote (28°C), Fuerteventura (27°C), La Palma (25°C), Las Palmas (25°C), Larnaca (24°C), Antalya (22°C), Funchal (21°C), Valletta (21°C), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (21°C), Malaga (20°C). Everywhere else in southern Europe sat below 20°C across the last five Novembers.
Where can I find sun in November?
The sunniest was Cape Town at 10.8 hours a day. The driest destinations were Muscat (1 rainy day), Sharm El Sheikh (1 rainy day), Puerto Vallarta (2 rainy days), Marrakech (5 rainy days), San Jose del Cabo (1 rainy day). Rain days matter more than temperature for a sun holiday, and they vary far more.
How strong is the sun in November?
The highest midday UV index we measured was 15 at Victoria, Seychelles. Anything from 8 upwards burns unprotected skin in under 20 minutes, and 11 or more is the top of the scale. Nadi (14), Port Vila (14), Papeete (14), Denpasar (14) followed.
Is Tenerife hot in November?
No. Tenerife averaged 21°C (69°F) with rain on 9 days across the last five Novembers. Gran Canaria is warmer at 25°C with 8 rainy days, but neither is hot.
Which hot November destination has the worst air quality?
Delhi averaged 110.4 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic metre in November. The World Health Organization treats 15 as the interim target and 5 as the guideline, so that is well above both. If anyone in the party has asthma it is worth knowing before you book.
Where is hot in other months
November is a month people book months ahead, so it is worth knowing what the other months do. We measured October and December the same way. The Christmas market and snow side of December is measured on a separate page.
Temperature is the mean of the five most recent Novembers, 2021 to 2025, from Open-Meteo. Rain and sunshine come from the NASA POWER satellite record, 2001 to 2020. A rainy day is a day with 1 mm or more, the threshold the Met Office, Meteo-France and AEMET all publish. Grid squares are about 25 km wide and spread one shower across the whole square, so we correct for that and check the result against the published normals of ten national weather services: rain days land within two days of the official count, sunshine within twenty minutes.
Cyclones: NOAA IBTrACS, every ocean, not only the Atlantic. Air quality: CAMS model, a regional figure rather than a street reading. Flights and fares: live airline data, so treat a fare as a scale and not a quote. Cost of living: World Bank ICP, New York at 100.
