November weather on VdlP.

I know the further north a pilgrim gets the more chance there would be to encounter cold and rain. What would the weather be like on the southern part at this time?

As the old saying goes "climate is what you plan for, weather is what you get" ;-) Here a handy link to historic/average weather data for Andalucia https://www.climatestotravel.com/climate/spain/andalusia

Buen Camino, SY

I've encountered mid 30s centigrade on the Plata in late October and early November near Seville. Once I had no rain from Seville to Sanabria. Last year was the longest drought in ~40 years and I had no rain between Tarifa in mid October and Portugal (left the Plata at Salamanca), also the highest November temperature in that area in 34 years. One year I got soaked north of Fuenterroble, but was otherwise dry, and one year I got frostbite in freezing fog just south of Zamora. Last year was the only one of my six times on it that I didn't get soaked at some point on the Sanabrés.

On this date last year I was in Torremejia on the 9th day of my walk. It had been very hot up to then with temperatures during the day in the high 30s.
I'm thinking of a November start this year in the hope it'll be cooler.
