Morocco flag

Morocco is not called a cold country with a hot sun for nothing - temperature can vary dramatically between night and day, depending on the season and the region. In summer the beaches will be hot but crowded, and on the Altantic side the sky is very often overcast. The coast is temperate all year round, but the resorts will feel cool out of season. The summer months are excellent for visiting the High and Middle Atlas Mountains, but cities like Fes and Marrakech can be unbearably hot. The best time to visit the south and the Sahara region is in winter, from October to Februay, as the summer temprature here can easily soar to more than 45ºC (113ºF). For a general tour of Morocco the best peridods are March to May and September to October, when it's cooler and there is less chance of rain.
