Located in the Lombardy region in northern Italy, Lake Como is Italy's third largest lake at 146 square km. Views straight off a postcard can be found throughout the many little towns and villages that dot the Lake Como shoreline, with stunning glacial mountains and lake backdrops at every angle. The area boasts a year-round Mediterranean climate with hot, sunny summers and pleasant winters, which is another major selling point for the destination.

November marks the end of autumn in Lake Como and it is when the temperatures begin to drop. Average daily temperatures are around 8°C with high temperatures only reaching 11°C. Evening can be rather chilly in November as night time temperatures can sometimes dip to as low as freezing for the first time since the start of the year. Average low temperatures are around 5°C, so visitors should pack accordingly, with some warmer layers and a jacket.

Lake Como also sees a decrease in sunshine hours, with some of the lowest amounts of sunshine of the year. Don't let this put you off visiting Lake Como in November though, as there is still 6 bright and sunny hours each day much more than other parts of Europe at this time of year.

Unlike many areas of Europe, the rainy season is finally coming to an end in November. Rainfall is much lower than over the summer months and is general, isn't something travellers need to be concerned about. There is about 99mm of precipitation throughout November and an average of 13 wet days out of 30.

November is a great time to visit the Lake Como region if you're looking for a winter getaway and don't mind lower temperatures. The peak summer crowds have died down, allowing traveller to enjoy a more peaceful and relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings.
