How is the weather in Morocco in Winter?
When talking about travel, all seasons are good. Winder is also suitable to explore Morocco, despite the fact the temperatures in some regions are lower. If you are planning to travel to the Sahara Desert, you should bear in mind that winter periods are cold, and humid between October and March.
In the mountains, it becomes freezing and intense as the temperature goes below zero, and you will need to bring a good warm jacket to be protected from the extreme cold. For Ski lovers, some area in the high Atlas Mountains is famous for Ski resort due to the excessive amount of snow that falls during the winter season.
Cities of the Atlas coast that covers from Tangier to Essaouira offer a bit warm and sunny weather and often sprint-like climate during the winter. Precipitation in most of the year is low, apart from late November to March. flooding can happen when severe storms break through.
When is the best time to travel to Marrakech?
Marrakech city is likely to be on your bucket list for your next vacation in Morocco. The ochre city is an important first step for any traveller who is keen to explore the culture, craftsmanship, and the best starting point from which you embark on tours to the south of Morocco to visit Ouarzazate, Rissani, and Merzouga.
Butwhen should I go to Marrakech? The most favourable weather is spring and early fall due to the cool, relaxing breeze, and the nights also chilled out. Try to avoid the months of June, July and august as much as you can as it gets very hot and that can ruin your experience. The same goes for periods when the sandstorm locally known as Chergui" blows, a burning wind loaded with dust from the Sahara.
New year, March and April are the best months when to visit Marrakech during bit touristy seasons.
To make a better decision
To better choose the best time to come to Morocco, we advise you to consider planning well the route you will travel through and the areas you will be visiting. Generally, if you want to go on the classic tour around the imperial cities, spring and autumn are the best time periods as the weather allows you to walk around freely without any constraints of the rain.
Mediterranean coast regions are easy and smooth to visit during the whole year as a result of the very modest climate; and if you are looking to travel in the low season, fall is a perfect time.
