Benidorm in November — at a glance
November is the transition into the true off-season. The first fortnight can still feel like a summer overspill, but by the second half you're firmly into layered clothing, cool nights and the winter pensioner rhythm.
The headline event is Benidorm's own Fiestas Mayores Patronales — a full week of parades, fireworks and Moors-and-Christians processions that fills the Old Town in the second week and is arguably the resort's most authentic annual celebration.
What was November 2025 actually like in Benidorm?
November 2025 was mixed — a warm first fortnight (up to 24°C on the 8th) coincided with the Fiestas Mayores Patronales, then a wetter cooler run in the third week (48mm over four days) before settling into a mild dry end to the month.

Benidorm November — the deeper picture
November's rain totals look similar to October's, but the pattern is different — instead of one or two intense storms, November tends to deliver more frequent shorter showers spread across the month. Between showers, sun is reliable and afternoons often reach a very comfortable 21–22°C.
Compared to the UK: UK November averages 8–10°C and grey. Benidorm's 20°C in sunshine is transformative for anyone escaping the winter dark.
