Climate
Morocco’s climate varies from region to region and time of year. The hottest time to visit the Moroccan Sahara is midsummer when, in contrast, it is much cooler on the coast or in the Atlas mountains; but there are no set rules.
Spring tends to come late (April or May) and this is the season to visit Rose Valley (Kelaa Mgouna) and the Rose Festival. Winter days in the South can be perfect, although the nights are cold.
Published annual sunshine levels are more than 8hrs a day in Fes, Marrakech and Ouarzazate with average temperatures above 21c. But if you feel too hot or too cold you can travel from the snow of the Atlas to the heat of the Sahara sands in one day - not that we advise you to move with such haste when there is so much to explore and discover along the route.
