Warm daytime basics
Start with breathable layers rather than a winter-weight wardrobe. Add sun protection based on your own needs and plans.
November preparation
Lanzarote in November: what to expect and pack
Start with verified long-term conditions, then shape an editable list around the plans you actually make.
Typical, not a forecast
Typical November conditions
These figures are AEMET climate normals for station C029O at Lanzarote Airport, covering 1981–2010. They describe a historical station average—not the weather across every part of the island and not a forecast for your dates.
| Metric | Typical value | What it means for packing | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean temperature | 20.7°C | Plan for warm conditions, while keeping a layer for cooler moments. | AEMET |
| Average daily maximum | 24.2°C | Light daytime clothing is a sensible starting point. | AEMET |
| Average daily minimum | 17.2°C | An extra evening layer can be useful. | AEMET |
| Monthly rainfall normal | 15 mm | Pack for the possibility of rain, not a permanently wet trip. | AEMET |
| Days with at least 1 mm rain | 3.0 days | A compact rain layer is practical without dominating the list. | AEMET |
A useful starter, not a fixed list
What that means for packing
Your final list should reflect your accommodation, luggage and activities. These are the choices most directly supported by the verified conditions above.
A layer for later
The average daily minimum is lower than the daytime maximum, so an extra evening layer is a practical addition.
Compact rain cover
The rainfall normal is not zero. A light waterproof layer earns its place more readily than bulky wet-weather gear.
Use the temperature range
Plan daytime and evening layers
The station normal for the average daily maximum is 24.2°C, while the average daily minimum is 17.2°C. Treat light daytime clothing and an extra evening layer as an editable starting point, then check a current forecast close to departure.
Do not turn a monthly normal into a daily promise
Rain and wind
AEMET records a November normal of 15 mm rainfall and 3.0 days with at least 1 mm at the airport station. That supports packing a compact rain layer; it does not tell you which dates will be wet. This guide does not quote a wind figure because no wind measure has been verified for this page.
Let the activity change the list
Planning days out
A volcanic landscape visit, an underground site and a ferry day create different footwear, layer and day-bag decisions. Review the researched activity options before finalising your list.
