Chile - weather in November

In Chile, November is the last month of spring.

North

In the northern part of the coast, where we find the Atacama desert (see Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta), the temperatures are very mild, with a daily average ranging from 17.5 to 19.5 °C (63.5 to 67 °F), and although it never rains, mists and low clouds can form, especially in the morning. Even in the northernmost part, the ocean is a bit cool for swimming.
In the inland areas of the north, occupied by a plateau and the Andes (see Calama, San Pedro de Atacama), it's always sunny. The diurnal temperature range is very wide, it gets cold at night, and at the temperature can drop below freezing.

Center

In the central part of the coast (see Valparaiso, Viña del Mar), the average daily temperature is around 16 °C (61 °F). In Santiago, in the inland areas of the center, the daily average is 18.5 °C (65.5 °F), moreover, the temperature range is high, so it can get a bit cold at night, while it can get hot during the day. The rains are very rare, while south of Santiago they are increasingly more frequent.

South

In the south the temperature is progressively cooler: the daily average ranges from 13.5 °C (56 °F) in Valdivia to 9 °C (48 °F) in Punta Arenas. Furthermore, while in November it never rains in the north, and it rarely rains in the center, in the south the rains are quite frequent. Actually, in the area of the southern fjords, west of the Andes, the rains are frequent and abundant also in this period.
In the far south, the wind often blows, increasing the feeling of coolness.
In the southern part of the Andes, which unlike the northern part is verdant, at the same altitude the temperature is much lower, so much so that there are glaciers at fairly low altitudes.
