Marrakech currently has the conditions shown in the live forecast above, with temperatures typical for this inland Moroccan city. As a red-city destination south of the Atlas Mountains, its climate shifts sharply between hot, dry summers and cooler, wetter winters, making the season you travel a key factor in what to pack.
What is the typical weather in Marrakech throughout the year?
Marrakech enjoys a semi-arid climate, meaning plenty of sunshine but notably cool nights, especially from November to February. For those checking marrakech weather by month, the hottest period runs June through August, with daytime highs frequently exceeding 38°C. The winter months—marrakech weather november, marrakech weather december, and marrakech weather january—offer mild, pleasant days around 18-22°C but crisp evenings that can drop to 5°C. Spring and autumn are widely considered the most comfortable times to visit, with balmy afternoons and lower humidity.
Can I get an extended forecast for Marrakech?
Short-range outlooks are most reliable. For planning, you can find a 10 day weather forecast UK alongside local details, but Marrakech-specific 15-day predictions are less accurate due to inland weather patterns. If you are looking for marrakech weather 15 days or marrakech weather 30 days ahead, treat those as broad trends rather than precise conditions. For a more reliable window, check marrakech weather forecast 21 days from established providers. Meanwhile, a UK weather hub covers domestic conditions, and for other destinations, see the Dubai Weather page.
Does it rain much in Marrakech during winter?
Winter (November to March) is the wettest season, but rain typically falls as brief, heavy showers rather than persistent drizzle. December averages about 25mm of rainfall over 5-6 days, so you’ll still see plenty of sun between any wet spells.
Is Marrakech hot at night in summer?
No, the desert location means heat dissipates quickly after sunset. Even in July, nights cool down to around 20°C, a drop of more than 15°C from daytime highs. A light jacket is useful for evening walks or rooftop dinners.
What is the weather in Marrakech for a week-long trip in spring?
Spring (March to May) brings daily highs from 22°C to 30°C, with clear skies and low humidity. Evenings remain pleasant, rarely below 12°C. It is one of the best windows for sightseeing, though a light jumper for mornings is wise.
