Best time to travel to Morocco tips climate

Best time to go and visit Morocco:

Are you planning a vacation to Morocco and curious about the ideal time to visit? We can tell you that it is possible to go to Morocco year-round. April, May, October, and November are the months we suggest. Even on the seaside, it is not very warm and remains fairly comfortable at this time. These coastal places are also accessible throughout the summer months. June, July, August, and September often see temperatures between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius. Consequently, a beach trip is strongly suggested.

The months of September to May are optimal for a round-trip across Morocco. Because summers are very hot, particularly in the interior of the nation. Consequently, these months are less recommended. If you are planning a trip to the Sahara desert, you should select the months of fall and winter. The desert is brutally hot during the summer months.

The weather in the various regions:

There is no one climate in Morocco; the weather varies from area to region. In addition, you will find a Mediterranean climate in the north and northwest of the nation. This implies that you may anticipate dry, scorching summers and warm, wet winters. In the south and southeast of the nation, the climate is continental. Summers are very hot and winters are extremely frigid. If you are considering a vacation across the Sahara, we suggest the months of fall and spring.

Between the Sahara in the south and southeast and the seashore in the west is the “High Atlas” mountain range. This mountain range roughly separates the northern and southern regions of Morocco. Choose the months of March through May and October and November if you want to walk through the mountains. At the mountains, winter is very cold and snowy in the highest elevations. In the High Atlas, snowfall is likely at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

The climate in the city of Marrakech is very dry and warm. In the summer, you may anticipate temperatures over 40°C. Therefore, we advise visiting this location between November and May.

Best time to visit Morocco for Marrakech and the interior:

Marrakech has a year-round mild and dry climate throughout the summer months. However, the climate is very hot and dry, making sightseeing physically taxing. Therefore, June through September are less recommended. If you are able to tolerate these conditions, there is no need to avoid travel.

The ideal times to visit Marrakech, Morocco are in the spring and fall. It is now pleasantly warm, relatively dry, and not too hot. In March, April, May, October, and November, the weather will be really good. In winter, the temperature decreases somewhat. Temperatures may reach up to 21 degrees Celsius throughout the day. In addition, there are just seven average rainy days each month throughout this season. September to May is consequently the optimum time to visit Marrakech and the interior.

Best time to visit the Moroccan coast:

In Morocco there are two coasts. There is the Mediterranean coast with the cities of Tangier and Nador to the north. Rabat, Casablanca, and Agadir are right on the Atlantic coast in the west. On both coastlines, the climate is Mediterranean. That is to say, temperatures are pleasant to warm throughout the whole year. During the months of July and August, the temperature tends to exceed 27 degrees Celsius. On average, there is no precipitation during this period.

These are the year’s driest and hottest months. January is the coldest month, with a low temperature of 8 degrees Celsius. The temperature hits 17 degrees Celsius throughout the day. Thus, the optimum time to visit the coastal area of Morocco is between April and November. This time of year is summerlike in temperature and sees little to no precipitation. Additionally, you may anticipate 10 hours of daily sunlight. What more do you require? Conditions ideal for a relaxing summer holiday.

Best time to visit the highlands of Morocco:

You should divert to the Atlas Mountains on your trip to Morocco. It is extremely popular with hikers, explorers, and wildlife enthusiasts. Due to the high altitude, particularly in the mountains, you can anticipate more precipitation (rain & snow). It is also much colder here than at lower elevations. In April, we could still go about Marrakech in a T-shirt, but in the highlands we required a heavy sweater and a raincoat. The finest months to visit Morocco’s Atlas Mountains are March, April, May, October, and November.

When to visit the Western Sahara at its peak:

What is the climate like in the southern United States and the desert? There is extremely little precipitation in the climate of the Sahara. Only from September through December may precipitation occur. The average daily temperature ranges from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius. But at night, the desert may get quite chilly. Therefore, you should bring at least one sweatshirt with you on desert excursions. During our night in the tent, we were really chilly.

We do not advocate visiting the Sahara in the summer. The thermometer like to rise over 40 degrees. Then sandstorms may occur, which are anything but pleasant. At least, it is what previous travelers have reported. Between April and November is the ideal season to visit to the south west coast. We suggest visiting the Sahara between the months of October and April. We were in Morocco at that time in March, and the temperature was excellent throughout.

Our opinion about the ideal time to visit Morocco:

Morocco is accessible all year round. Although spring and fall are often the greatest seasons, you may easily escape your country’s cold by traveling to Morocco. Morocco is often fairly hot in the summer. Then you may nonetheless have a relaxing beach holiday. Regardless of your choice, Morocco is a fascinating nation.
