Morocco Climate and Weather

Climate

The climate of the northern Moroccan coast and central areas is Mediterranean, with hot dry summers and mild wet winters. Further inland, temperatures are more extreme, and the weather is cold in winter and very hot in summer, with the Atlas Mountain peaks blanketed with snow most of the year. Rain falls between April and May, and during October and November. The semi-arid areas on the perimeter of the Sahara desert experience the hot Sirocco winds during summer. Morocco is often referred to as a 'cold country with a very hot sun', explaining its slightly strange climate and weather. The best time to visit Morocco is between April and early June, or between September and November, when the weather is warm and dry.
