November in Galicia

What can the weather be during the first week of November, coming into Santiago? I know it's impossible to predict but any generalities? I walked in 2012, arriving mid October and it was beautiful.

Could be almost anything. Last year I walked for a week in January with only 20 minutes of rain. The previous two years it had rained every day for the same period. Here are some historical statistics:

I walked throughout November 2015 and encountered several days of significant rain, more days of cloudy and drizzle, other days mostly clear. So, you must be prepared for everything but you have a good chance in early November of having very good walking weather. You also have a good chance of very wet weather.

One never knows what the weather will be! Late November 2012 there was deep snow from O Cebreiro to El Acebo. Be prepared!

What C Clearly and mspath said.
I've walked in November.
We had sunny days and rainy days.
For the most part, I enjoyed it.
I wouldn't do it without my ALTUS!

The Spanish meteorological site has good climate data. The link here should open on a clickable map that links to the data for the regions.
