Has anyone been in November ?
Weather nice?
Everything open ? Etc

Yes.
Everything was open. The weather was mixed. Some sun (very hot when it was out), quite a lot of overcast skies, a few sprinkles of rain so quite changeable. It was shorts and t shirt temps 21-23 deg but cool at night. It goes dark early and you need long trousers and fleeces at night.

We went December 19. Was lovely and warm during the day, but VERY cold and windy as hell at night.

Given your other very recent thread in Relationships I would go on this holiday without him.

We went in November one time. Stayed in Maspalomas. We had one day of torrential rain lasted a couple of hours. It was really good to watch from indoors. Rest of the time was nice and sunny.

We had two weeks in Maspalomas. Very changeable weather. Mostly cloudy with sunny intervals, but also a few days where it rained most of the day. Sun sets pretty early so gets cold late afternoon/early evening. To be honest, we wouldn't do it again in November.

What anyfucker says but I’ve never had any rain
defo jeans and a sweatshirt in the evening though
sun goes about 630 ish , but is cooler from about 5 ish

Had a week in Maspalomas, in November, last year. Bloody lovely. On a sunlounger every day. Agree that you need a cardigan at night.

I flew back from GC yesterday (TUI have lost my pushchair on the outbound flight, have been fucking useless and now I am without a pushchair and can't claim yet as tecnically it's not lost for 28 days.... but that's another story).

My in-laws have a time share over there and go several times a year. November is peak time for time for the Canaries. Some resturants are only just opening again after the summer break. Maybe not for Brits travelling there, but for tourism as a whole, particualrly the Scandanvian market.

I got back from there on Monday we stayed in Maspolomas and were meant to fly home on the Sunday morning but there were storms and nearly every flight was cancelled.
Ryanair literally dumped us, long story short we stood for nearly ten hours in the airport, four hours of those in a queue of everyone who had flights cancelled that day with one desk open!
We were eventually told at the desk "your flight has been rebooked for tomorrow afternoon, off you go" no offers of food or a drink or anything. There was people with young kids and tiny babies with nowhere to go, no vouchers were given but saying that the tiny little shop had ran out of food anyway. Please don't use Ryanair!
That aside, Gran canaria is lovely. We had some bad weather, one day of rain, a few days lovely and sunny then it turned on the Saturday and we had torrential rain and storms until the Monday morning.
As far as I know the weather in the canaries is the same all year round so it's probably just pot luck what weather you get.

No but did Lanzarote in Feb and the wind at night was pretty cold. I'd wishes I had a coat!
