Weather and the best time to visit Morocco

Morocco is a fascinating destination all year round, but choosing the best time to travel depends on the region you want to visit and the kind of experience you are looking for. At Mágico Marruecos we design tailor-made trips in every season, from cultural city breaks to Atlas Mountains treks and desert tours.
Knowing Morocco’s weather region by region will help you plan your trip and enjoy it to the full. Below we explain, simply, what the climate is like in each region and the best time to visit it.

Morocco’s climate by region

trip planning, the country can be divided into four main climate zones: the Atlantic coast, the Mediterranean coast, the Atlas Mountains and the southern desert.

Morocco’s Atlantic coast

The Atlantic coast stretches from Tangier to the far south, including cities such as Casablanca, Essaouira and Agadir. Thanks to the ocean, the climate is mild all year round.
  • Mild winters
  • Warm but not extreme summers
  • Windy, ideal for surfing and water sports
  • Cool sea water
  • Frequent morning mist in summer
It is a perfect region for cultural trips, city breaks and relaxed beach holidays.

The north and the Mediterranean coast

Northern Morocco, the Mediterranean coast and the Rif region enjoy a Mediterranean climate, one of the most pleasant in the country.
  • Mild temperatures most of the year
  • Hot, humid summers on the coast
  • Cooler weather in the Rif Mountains
  • Colder winters at altitude
It is ideal if you are looking for nature, green landscapes and charming towns such as Chefchaouen.

The Atlas Mountains

The Atlas ranges cross Morocco and offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the country. The climate changes with altitude.
  • Middle Atlas: cool winters, dry summers and green forests
  • High Atlas: cold, snowy winters; summers hot by day and cool at night
  • Anti-Atlas: drier, close to desert conditions
This region is perfect for trekking, nature trips and rural experiences, especially in spring and autumn.

The southern Moroccan desert

The south and the Sahara desert have an extreme climate, with big temperature differences between day and night.
  • Very hot summers
  • Winters mild by day and cold at night
  • Great oases and valleys such as the Draa and the Dades

The best time to visit the Moroccan desert is from October to April, when temperatures are most pleasant.
