Marrakech, Morocco

Set on the desert belt, Marrakech (Morocco) is best understood through its weather data: our 2015–2024 climate record puts its peak at a 99/100 sun score in May, exactly the kind of reliability you want for a trip of museums, food and old streets.

Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 20°C (January) and 39°C (July). On the rain ledger, July is the safest bet at a 1% chance of a wet day, while March climbs to 22%. The genuinely warm window — average highs of 24°C or better — covers April–November.

The seasonal arc is clear in the data: summer averages 37°C against winter's 21°C, while rain-day odds move from 15% in winter and 17% in spring to 2% in summer and 9% through autumn. That makes spring the statistical sweet spot (season score 95), with winter a workable second; summer is where the odds thin out. A practical compromise is November — the edge of the warm window, averaging 24°C with a 93 sun score.

Best months to visit Marrakech

The best month on record is May — a 99/100 sun score, built on 37% cloud cover and 12% rain-day odds — followed by April and October. Anything in January–December clears our 70-point reliability bar. At the other end, August scores just 70, the weakest month of the year.

For context: in May, Marrakech is drier than 14% of the desert destinations we track.
