Maspalomas Weather in November
November marks the transition into the Maspalomas winter sun season. Temperatures settle at a comfortable 24°C, evenings remain warm at 19°C, and the sea holds at 22°C — still ideal for swimming. Rainfall increases from the summer zero, but with only 5 days of rain in an average November, the sun still dominates. The resort shifts into its winter rhythm in November. Long-stay visitors — particularly from Germany, Scandinavia, and the UK — begin to arrive, taking advantage of mild temperatures that contrast dramatically with conditions at home. The atmosphere becomes quieter, more international, and in many ways more characterful than peak summer.

Climate Detail
Sunshine averages around 6.5 hours per day — less than summer but generous for a November destination. The UV index drops to 5, and the trade winds ease to their most relaxed levels since April. November is actually one of the calmer months for wind in Maspalomas. Rainfall at 25mm across 5 days is the most of any month so far this year — though still far less than a typical November in northern Europe. Atlantic fronts pass through occasionally, bringing brief heavy showers followed by clear skies. The shelter provided by the island's mountains means the south coast receives less rain than Las Palmas.
What to Do in November
Walking and cycling
The coastal paths and flat terrain around Maspalomas are perfect for walking and cycling in November temperatures. The annual Gran Canaria Walking Festival takes place in autumn.
Whale watching continues
November is excellent for cetacean sightings as cooler water temperatures attract feeding whales closer to shore.
Cultural Las Palmas day trip
A 45-minute drive takes you to a completely different world — the historic Vegueta district, the CAAM contemporary art museum, and the Pérez Galdós Theatre all have active autumn programmes.
Golf
November conditions — warm, calm, and clear — are ideal for golf at the several excellent courses around the south of Gran Canaria.
