Morocco is located in the northwestern region of Africa, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Algeria, and Western Sahara. The Tropic of Cancer crosses Morocco in the south. Morocco is predominantly mountainous, with the highest point exceeding 4,150 meters above sea level. As altitude increases, temperatures generally decrease, and precipitation tends to increase, leading to corresponding changes in climate.
The weather in Morocco typically resembles that of Mediterranean destinations, featuring cooler winters and sunny summers. However, temperatures and rainfall can vary significantly based on distance from the Atlantic Ocean and altitude. Daytime maximum temperatures typically range from 20 to 31 degrees Celsius, and there are about 12 hours of sunshine daily, depending on weather conditions.
Morocco’s diverse landscapes include imperial cities such as Marrakech, Rabat, Meknes, and Fez. Don’t miss the desert experiences in Merzouga in the east or Erg Chegaga in the west. The cooler coastal cities along the Atlantic Ocean, like Essaouira, Agadir, Casablanca, and Tangier, are also worth visiting.
The best times to discover Morocco are in spring (from March to June) and autumn (from September to the end of November), when pleasant temperatures range between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius. The weather is generally mild throughout the year, making it a great winter getaway.
In addition to the influence of altitude, a continental component becomes more pronounced as you move away from the coast. The temperatures in the interior are more variable compared to the coastal areas. In the northwestern third of Morocco, you will experience a Mediterranean climate with dry summers. In the southeastern two-thirds of the country (including Agadir, Marrakech, and Er-Rachidia), the climate can be hot (or “cold,” depending on altitude) and is classified as arid or semi-arid.
Do keep in mind the possibility of sandstorms. Tropical weather is popular among travelers, especially in Agadir, Essaouira, and Mazagan. Desert experiences can be dusty and windy from April to May, with hot summers in the Sahara.
Morocco generally offers very sunny and pleasant weather in various areas of the Atlas Mountains.
