November is not as busy as the summer months; it’s actually one of the more quiet months in Fuerteventura since most people will wait to visit in December during the winter holidays.

Weather in Fuerteventura in November

Compared to October, the average temperature drops by about 2°C, but during the daytime, you can still expect temperatures of about 23-24°C, which will feel pretty warm when the sun is out.

The wind starts to pick up strength in November, which is why this is the perfect time of the year for the Kite Festival, which takes place on the beautiful Corralejo dunes in the north of the island. If you are in Fuerteventura in November during the time of this festival, we highly recommend you go and see the wonderful kites that the participants bring with them from countries all over the globe (see more details at the end of this article).

Can you sunbathe in Fuerteventura in November?

Although not as hot as during the summer months, November in Fuerteventura will still be considerably warmer compared to most places in Europe like Germany, France, the UK, or any other country in northern Europe.

As long as the sun is out, it will be hot enough to sunbathe even in November, both in the north and south of the island.

It’s true that the chances of rainy days increase as the month progresses to winter, so your impressions and experience will depend on how long you’re staying. If you’re staying for two weeks or more, you have chances to get one or two rainy or overcast days, but you’ll probably be happy if it’s warm and sunny during the remainder of your time on the island. But if you’re coming for a long weekend or a week you might not be as excited about the weather, which could be a bit more unpredictable in November. But all in all, November in Fuerteventura will still we much hotter compared to the rest of Europe, so if you’re looking for a warm destination in November, Fuerteventura is a very good choice.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy at Fuerteventura Airport is very rapidly decreasing during November, falling from 32% to 5% over the course of the month.

For reference, on August 31, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 71% of the time, while on January 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.

Fuerteventura Airport is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.

The average surface water temperature at Fuerteventura Airport is gradually decreasing during November, falling by 3°F, from 72°F to 69°F, over the course of the month.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures at Fuerteventura Airport are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

The percentage of time spent in various temperature bands. The black line is the percentage chance that a given day is within the growing season.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F.

The average accumulated growing degree days at Fuerteventura Airport are rapidly increasing during November, increasing by 569°F, from 6,052°F to 6,620°F, over the course of the month.

This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation.

The average daily incident shortwave solar energy at Fuerteventura Airport is gradually decreasing during November, falling by 0.8 kWh, from 4.4 kWh to 3.6 kWh, over the course of the month.

This report illustrates the typical weather at Fuerteventura Airport, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

Temperature and Dew Point

Fuerteventura Airport has a weather station that reported reliably enough during the analysis period that we have included it in our network. When available, historical temperature and dew point measurements are taken directly from this weather station. These records are obtained from NOAA’s Integrated Surface Hourly data set, falling back on ICAO METAR records as required.

In the case of missing or erroneous measurements from this station, we fall back on records from nearby stations, adjusted according to typical seasonal and diurnal intra-station differences. For a given day of the year and hour of the day, the fallback station is selected to minimize the prediction error over the years for which there are measurements for both stations.

The stations on which we may fall back are Lanzarote Airport and Hassan I Airport.

Other Data

All data relating to the Sun’s position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus.

All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA’s MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.

Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database .

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
