If you are thinking about when is the best time to go to Morocco, then we note that holidays in the country are almost possible all year round. But, of course, it is worth considering the local climate, which, due to the very diverse topography, the influence of the Sahara and the Atlantic, differs significantly in different regions.

On the coast mediterranean sea he is very soft. The summer here is warm, not exhausting, and the winter is quite pleasant with a temperature of +10 ... +12 °C. In the south of the country, due to the influence of the ocean, the climate is continental with fairly hot summers and cool winters. In mountainous areas, the weather mainly depends on the height of the terrain.

Holiday seasons in Morocco provide tourists with almost all types of pastime.

Here you can:

  • stay in a luxury hotel and relax on the beautiful sandy coast;
  • ski down the Atlas Mountains, which separate the country's Atlantic coast from the Sahara Desert;
  • catch the luxurious waves of the ocean on a surfboard;
  • relieve stress and gain new strength with the help of thalassotherapy and hammam;
  • do exciting shopping: there are many markets and shops with all kinds of products (including souvenirs);
  • touch the ancient cities with a thousand-year-old oriental culture.

The largest number of guests is celebrated on a high tourist season, which begins in May and lasts until the arrival of November. This best time for a trip to Morocco in 2020. The second wave of the tourist boom is observed during the New Year holidays.

Rest in winter

In Africa, it is difficult to imagine winter in our understanding, but in Morocco it is possible. IN mountainous places it's pretty chilly here, and even in summer months during the day the air warms up to no more than +15 °C. In winter, many Moroccan peaks are covered with snow. Some of them remain snow-white until spring.

Tours in Morocco New Year quite popular among travelers, despite the high prices. Winter holidays in this country are celebrated with great fun, so a bright holiday is provided for everyone. December is a good time for excursion programs, which often include the Sahara. The coast is mostly dominated by surfers this month.

In January and February, daytime temperatures in cities such as Fes and Marrakech often reach 18°C, making it possible to enjoy cultural activities. In Agadir, the weather is absolutely beautiful with a temperature of +24 ° C. However, during these months there are sharp changes in temperature, mainly at night, so it is worth taking warm clothes with you.

In February, a few ski resorts open their season, so here you can actively and cheerfully celebrate St. Valentine with a loved one or February 23 with friends. Naturally, it is not worth comparing local slopes with European ones.

Springtime

From the first days of spring (including arriving here on March 8), you can safely see the sights of cities and get acquainted with the delights of local cuisine. If you want to visit Morocco in 2020 to see the cities, spring is a great time to do so. The weather at this time is quite sunny and warm. The daytime temperature usually does not exceed +25 °C, which is very comfortable for most guests. Sometimes there are strong winds and short rains, but in general, the spring time is conducive to a cozy rest. During May holidays gardens with orange trees bloom here and open their doors beach resorts. Prices in the spring are still very comfortable and allow you to relax cheaper.

Great summer time

Beach holidays on the coasts of Morocco have been possible since May. IN summer period they get pretty hot. Although it should be borne in mind that the Atlantic coast warms up very smoothly, so sweltering heat even at temperatures above 30 ° C should not be expected.

Summer is the best time here. Daytime temperature, depending on the resort, ranges from 25 to 37 °C. The Atlantic coast delights guests in summer days cool water, and surfers - big waves. If you are traveling with a child, it is worth considering July or August, when the waters of the Atlantic warm up well. The closer to the Mediterranean coast, the warmer the resorts and sea waters.

Morocco in autumn

For most tourists, the most pleasant time for swimming is the velvet season, which traditionally begins here in September. The waters of the ocean at this time please with their warmth, therefore bathing season continues. Despite the onset of autumn, many tourists continue to visit the sandy beaches of Agadir, Marrakech and other cities. Walks along the excursion routes are an integral part of the rest of most guests. The reviews for Morocco in September and October are wonderful.

In late autumn, the weather here worsens significantly: it becomes damp and cool. The water in the ocean is already cooling, so swimming is out of the question.

High beach season in Morocco
With the beginning of May, the beach season officially opens in the resorts of Morocco. No, tourists have been resting here before, but the temperature of the air and water in the ocean did not allow swimming in the ocean. And the coast of the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the waters of which are not so warm.

After all, at the end of October the air will be cool, sometimes not higher than +15 degrees. by this time the water in the ocean will have cooled down to +17 degrees, and it will be very cold even to wet your feet in it.


In the velvet season, many hotels offer tourists excellent discounts. And tourists use them. The sun shines quite brightly, you can sunbathe, and it's cool to swim now, in summer. But it's nice to get a discount, especially in recent months beach season.

Small conclusion.
