Weather in Nov...Rome,Venice,Greece

[Tyger350]

Going on Brilliance on Nov 5th. Is it to cool for shorts during the day? Just trying to figure out what kind of clothes to pack. If it is cool will a light jacket suffice? Thanks...Tony

Weather there is the same all over the world. In November you could have some days where shorts will be fine and other days where long pants or a jacket will be required.

 

We were in Venice in October for three days as part of a back to back cruise. The first day was chilly in the morning. The second day was warmer but rainy. And the third day was a delight as it was sunny and warm.

 

So, just go prepared.

 

I would bring a light jacket with me, a sweater and an umbrella along with a variety of clothes from shorts to pants.

Keith is correct in that bringing a variety of clothes is best. It also depends on where you are. Some ports (e.g., Greek isles) are likely to be warmer and there's a good chance you can wear shorts. I wouldn't think you'd want to wear shorts in Rome or Venice in November, it can be pretty chilly.

 

In Rome last November I wore a shirt and sweater and was fine during the day. I put on a light jacket at night as it cools off significantly when the sun sets.

November is the rainiest month for Venice. The street flood frequently. Take a pair of Wellington boots.

Funny, I was just reading about the "acqua alta" phenomenon in Venice in a mystery novel I'm reading! So I googled it and came up with this which might be useful:
