08Editor's notes
What the numbers don't tell you
November is the acqua alta peak, with afternoons around 13 °C, the Salute festival on 21 November, when Venetians cross a votive bridge of boats to the basilica, and the Biennale closing. It is cold, often wet with rain on about eight days, and the quietest month, with hotel rates at their lowest. The MOSE barrier now prevents the worst floods, but minor high water still brings out the walkways.
All Saints' Day on 1 November is a holiday, with the cemetery island of San Michele busy. The Accademia and the Ca' Rezzonico are empty. Fog returns to the lagoon. Daylight ends before five by month-end. For the cold, atmospheric month with the Christmas markets and New Year's Eve, see December.
