Where to go this week: destinations with the best weather

For the period from 9 November to 16 November the standout destination is Cape Town: expect clear, coastal days with an average high of 26.3°C and a full 7/7 fine-day run, making it the best pick for long beach afternoons and uninterrupted coastal drives.

If you want a mix of sea and shelter, Maui offers comfortable warmth with an average high of 23.6°C and 5/7 fine days; that combination supports morning snorkeling or a leeward beach day with occasional cloud later. Marrakech sits warmer and drier than many Mediterranean city-breaks — an average high of 24°C with 4/7 fine days — so plan afternoon sightseeing and late-afternoon cafés when conditions are clearest. Athens delivers reliably walkable weather for urban exploration, with an average high of 18.8°C and an unbroken 7/7 run of fine days; think comfortable sightseeing and hillside walks without having to dodge showers.

One place to be cautious about this week is Cancún: despite a high near 29.2°C, it only has 2/7 fine days and accumulates significant rain, which will affect beach time and boat trips. The above picture is drawn from the MET Norway forecast and helps you match activities to realistic conditions rather than best-case hopes.
