Seasons, Festivals & Events

Climate, seasons and weather

Marrakesh can get surprisingly cold in winter (Dec–Feb), and even November and March can be quite nippy, especially at night, and November can be quite wet too. Summer (June–mid-Sept) by contrast, can be debilitatingly hot, especially in the early afternoon. Weather-wise, therefore, the best months to visit are April, May and October.

You can find more detailed Marrakesh climate information here, here, and here. The BBC have a current weather forecast for Marrakesh here.
