November and December you can expect more unsettled and cooler weather, also shorter days as sunsets are earlier.

 

Noticing your location in NFL Canada, you should already have suitable clothing!  Pack layers,  a cozy hat, gloves and scarf, umbrella, and we find the ideal outerwear combo is a fleece jacket for colder, dry days, and an actual fully waterproof jacket with hood for wetter days, ideally one which you can wear your fleece jacket undernesth for weather which is both cold and wet.  And footwear with a decent grip.

My experience a 2018 December translant was interesting. Yes, we needed warmer clothes in the Med and we experienced some rougher weather once we passed the Azores. However, the last few days before we reached Fort Lauderdale were warm, sunny, and perfect pool weather despite it being early December.
