We are taking our first family trip to Europe this Thanksgiving (Nov 16 - 27th). Our itinerary is 3 days in Venice, 3 days in Florence and remaining in Rome (leave from Rome).

Anyone have an idea what the weather will be like? My agent said she was there at that time and wore a t-shirt and no jacket.

I hope to brush up on my first real travel photography (using more than a 35mm wind and click) so I'm praying for some sunny days.

I was in Venice last year on 27th Nov. Based on my experience on that day :

  • You definitely need to wear jacket. It was around 6-8 Celcius. I put some of my photos below. As you can see, all the people wear jackets.
  • On that day, it was sunny. I love photography as you do, and my photos in Venice were my best photos during my trip in Europe.

However there's a possibility of Acqua Alta (flood) during November, which usually dissapears within hours. But if like you said you want to stay 3 days in Venice, your probability of having at least 1 sunny day is greater.

On average, November in Venice is relatively chilly (average daily high is 11°C) and with a good chance of rain as it is the wettest month (weather.com). Still, as with most of Europe, the weather fluctuates and you might experience better (or worse) weather. You will however definitely need to pack for chilly weather.

I can't give a definite answer for late November, but having been in Tuscany and Rome several times in late December, you do need more than a T-shirt. Venise also is cold in Winter with wet wind from the sea.
