Positano (Amalfi Coast) 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.

Positano's forum calls July hot, around 84°F on average, warm rather than scorching but genuinely more intense with the coast's humidity added in. Regulars flag mosquitoes as worth planning around if the room doesn't have proper air conditioning, and note July is the Amalfi Coast's most crowded month, though there's still room to escape the crowds if you look.
