Morocco's weather varies hugely between the desert, the mountains, the cities and the coast. Here's a month-by-month overview to help you plan, with a focus on the Sahara around Merzouga.
Month by month
December, January, February
Cool across Morocco. Marrakech 18–20°C by day; Sahara days mild (15–20°C) but nights cold, sometimes near 0°C. The Atlas has snow. Great for stargazing and quiet travel.
March, April, May
The sweet spot. Warm, comfortable days everywhere, desert nights cool but pleasant. Ideal for the dunes and the gorges.
June, July, August
Hot — Marrakech and the Sahara regularly above 38–40°C at midday. The coast (Essaouira, Agadir) stays much cooler and is a popular escape.
September, October, November
Heat eases into warm, stable autumn days and cooler nights. Among the best months for a desert tour.
Planning around the weather
For the desert, target spring or autumn (see our best time to visit guide). Whatever the season, pack layers — see what to wear in Morocco.
