Sunniest places to go from Oslo in November
In November, the sunniest well-known place within 15 hours of Oslo is Aswan, Egypt, 10.8 h of sun a day and 23.2 °C, about 9h 18m each way by air. Without flying, it is Deventer, The Netherlands, 4.1 h of sun a day, about 15h each way by train, for about 38× less carbon (26.5 kg CO₂e return against 1,015 kg).
The 10 sunniest places within 15 hours of Oslo
Ranked on sunshine in November alone, among well-known places (a Wikivoyage travel guide and at least 40,000 Wikipedia readers a year), one per area and at most three per country. The carbon is shown, not used to choose: the list further down is the other question, how much sunshine each extra kilogram buys.

≈ is the model's estimate (air times include getting to and through the airport); ✓ is a rail journey checked against a real timetable, with the date it was checked. Temperatures are historical daily means for 2023–2024, averaged across day and night, so afternoons run warmer.
The low-carbon trade-off
The sunniest place you can reach from Oslo in November within 15 hours is Luxor, 10.6 h, costing 974 kg CO₂e return. The lowest-carbon option is Karlstad at 4.9 kg — 199× less carbon, for 7.4 hours less sunshine.
Every destination here is on the efficiency frontier: nowhere else this site covers is both sunnier in November and lower in carbon. Anything a better option beats outright has been left out.
By rail or ferry By air
What the 15-hour limit costs: at this budget Innsbruck can only be reached by air — 354 kg CO₂e, in 5h 24m. Allow up to 24 hours and the train does the same journey for 41.5 kg in 22h 18m — 9× less carbon for 16h 54m more travelling.

Warm is not the same as pleasant, which is why sunshine and rainfall are shown alongside temperature. All three are ERA5 monthly means for 2023–2024.
Where the curve breaks
The frontier is gentle until it isn't. Going from Świnoujście (20.7 kg, 4.1 h) to Wałbrzych (270 kg, 4.8 h) buys 0.7 hours more sunshine for an extra 250 kg — 356 kg of CO₂e per hour. That single step is the most expensive sunshine on the whole curve.

November answers differently depending on what you are after, and the lists genuinely diverge: the brightest places are not the hottest, and in summer the useful question stops being where is warm at all.

Where is the sunniest place to go from Oslo in November?
Luxor, Egypt, at 10.6 h. Reaching it emits 974 kg CO₂e return, travelling 9h each way by air (modelled).
Can I get somewhere sunny from Oslo in November without flying?
Yes. Świnoujście reaches 4.1 h and is reachable by rail or ferry in 12h 6m (modelled), emitting 20.7 kg CO₂e return — though Luxor is sunnier still, if you fly.
How much carbon does a return trip from Oslo to Luxor produce?
974 kg CO₂e for one person, return, by air. That uses the UK Government's 2026 conversion factors, including radiative forcing for flights.
Carbon uses UK Government (DESNZ/DEFRA) 2026 conversion factors applied to great-circle distance, with radiative forcing included for flights. Rail journey times are modelled estimates, not timetabled services. Full method · download the data.
