Capri (Isle of Capri) weather in November

A Naples resident confirms the reputation and then complicates it: "it's true that November is often the most rainy month of the year," with "average temperatures in November usually ranging from 8° to 20°C." But year to year it barely holds — "in the last years we had some hot Novembers with scarce rain and some cool, not too cool, Novembers with a lot of rain." Nobody on the thread described all-day rain, and the question that prompted it — whether Pompeii would be a washout — was answered by checking the forecast nearer the time rather than by writing the month off. Our record is at the wet end of his description and worth knowing before booking: 294mm across 18.6 rain days, the year's highest, with 17.6°C days and the sea still at 20°C.

September on Capri is still swimming weather — the forum puts the sea around 25°C and posters report getting in the water on every September trip unless it was actually raining. Shorts by day, a light jacket or sweater in the evening once the air eases back from a high near 24°C. On crowds it's a month of two halves: the island is packed daily from mid-June to early September, then late September thins noticeably, and weekday day-trips stay quiet because local day-trippers come mainly at weekends. One local caution — jellyfish turn up some years and have been exceptionally bad in a few; beach clubs keep sting spray.

Capri's forum is unanimous that July means heat and real crowds on the main island — regulars consistently point toward Anacapri instead for a noticeably calmer version of the same views. The ferry from Sorrento gets specific mention too: buy a return ticket and queue about 30 minutes early, or risk being stuck for the next crossing.
