Evenings remind you that winter is near, dip- ping to around 13°C. A cardi- gan or light jacket will see you through. Rain does visit the islands in November, but not for long. Showers tend to arrive sudden- ly, pour hard, then move on quickly. The sea remains invit- ing, usually around 21°C. Many still swim or dive, enjoying the clear visibility and peaceful bays. Autumn is also the perfect time for walking. The country- side begins to green again, the sun no longer burns, and the narrow streets of Valletta and Mdina are easier to explore without the swell of summer crowds. Gozo isn't seasonal, cafés and coastal restaurants stay open, and evenings feel relaxed. Packing for Gozo in Novem- ber is simple. Bring light lay- ers you can adjust through the day.
