The 10 warmest places within 15 hours of Leeds
Ranked on warmth 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 warmth each extra kilogram buys.

The low-carbon trade-off
The warmest place you can reach from Leeds in November within 15 hours is Sharm el-Sheikh, 24.6 °C, costing 958 kg CO₂e return. The lowest-carbon option is Colwyn Bay at 12.4 kg — 77× less carbon, for 16.0 degrees less warmth.
Every destination here is on the efficiency frontier: nowhere else this site covers is both warmer 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 Sagunto can only be reached by air — 396 kg CO₂e, in 5h 36m. Allow up to 24 hours and the train does the same journey for 60.7 kg in 20h 42m — 7× less carbon for 15h 6m 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 Toulon (52.5 kg, 13.4 °C) to A Coruña (318 kg, 14.5 °C) buys 1.1 °C more warmth for an extra 265 kg — 241 kg of CO₂e per degree. That single step is the most expensive warmth 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.
