All Months

March through May gives you perfect weather — warm days, cool evenings, and minimal rain. The Hassan II Mosque looks stunning in spring light, and you can actually enjoy walking around the city without melting. October and November work almost as well. Temperatures hover around 22°C, perfect for exploring on foot. The Atlantic stays warm enough for swimming until early November. Summer gets brutal. July and August see temperatures hit 35°C with humidity that makes everything sticky. The saving grace? Ocean breezes along the Corniche provide relief, and many hotels offer pool access. Winter brings rain and cooler temperatures — not ideal for sightseeing but great for experiencing local life. Cafés fill with locals escaping the weather, and you'll get authentic interactions without tourist crowds. Just pack a jacket; evenings can drop to 8°C. Ramadan affects restaurant hours and alcohol availability. Plan accordingly if you're visiting during this period, which shifts each year based on the lunar calendar.
