Summers are close to 45\u00b0C under the Chergui, and winters are mild during the day (19\u00b0C) but cool in the evening (6\u00b0C). For real-time weather forecasts, check out the specialist websites; to plan ahead, aim for spring or autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The weather in Marrakech,<\/strong> is more than 300 days of clear sky a year. An often-quoted figure, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Because the climate in Marrakech also means winters at 6\u00b0C and a Saharan wind that pushes the thermometer up to 45\u00b0C in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you're planning a holiday, buying a property or looking for the weather forecast for the next few days, here are all the keys you need to understand the climate in the ochre city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><p><strong>CONTENTS :<\/strong><\/p><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#meteo-a-marrakech-comprendre-le-climat-semi-aride\">Weather in Marrakech: understanding the semi-arid climate<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#temperatures-et-precipitations-le-bulletin-annuel\">Temperatures and precipitation: the annual bulletin<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#la-meteo-mois-par-mois-quand-partir\">The weather month by month: when to go?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#climat-et-immobilier-ce-que-la-meteo-change-pour-votre-riad\">Climate and property: what the weather means for your riad<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#faq-la-meteo-en-bref\">FAQ: The weather in brief<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"meteo-a-marrakech-comprendre-le-climat-semi-aride\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weather in Marrakech: understanding the semi-arid climate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city's geographical position is unique: it is surrounded by the High Atlas to the south and the arid plains of Haouz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: a semi-arid climate, exceptional light and very low humidity, with barely 250 mm of rain a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This low humidity is an advantage. With the same level of humidity, the dry heat is much more bearable than in a tropical climate. Even in July, the humidity doesn't rise, and the temperature you feel is often lower than you'd expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"l-atlas-et-le-chergui\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Atlas and the Chergui<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Atlas barrier blocks oceanic disturbances. The Chergui, a scorching wind from the Sahara, can turn everything upside down: in a matter of moments, the temperature rises, the humidity falls again and the situation changes. This is known as a local heatwave, which is common in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"temperatures-et-precipitations-le-bulletin-annuel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temperatures and precipitation: the annual bulletin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the seasonal norms for planning your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Month<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>T\u00b0 min<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>T\u00b0 max<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Precipitation<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>January<\/td><td>6\u00b0C<\/td><td>19\u00b0C<\/td><td>24 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>February<\/td><td>7\u00b0C<\/td><td>21\u00b0C<\/td><td>25 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>March<\/td><td>9\u00b0C<\/td><td>24\u00b0C<\/td><td>37 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>April<\/td><td>12\u00b0C<\/td><td>26\u00b0C<\/td><td>35 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>May<\/td><td>15\u00b0C<\/td><td>29\u00b0C<\/td><td>20 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>June<\/td><td>19\u00b0C<\/td><td>34\u00b0C<\/td><td>5 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>July<\/td><td>21\u00b0C<\/td><td>37\u00b0C<\/td><td>2 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>August<\/td><td>22\u00b0C<\/td><td>37\u00b0C<\/td><td>4 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>September<\/td><td>18\u00b0C<\/td><td>33\u00b0C<\/td><td>10 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>October<\/td><td>14\u00b0C<\/td><td>28\u00b0C<\/td><td>21 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>November<\/td><td>10\u00b0C<\/td><td>23\u00b0C<\/td><td>38 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>December<\/td><td>7\u00b0C<\/td><td>19\u00b0C<\/td><td>24 mm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"suivre-la-meteo-du-jour-en-temps-reel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow the day's weather in real time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For real-time forecasts, La Cha\u00eene M\u00e9t\u00e9o and <a href=\"https:\/\/meteofrance.com\/meteo-monde\/marrakech\/2542997\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/meteofrance.com\/meteo-monde\/marrakech\/2542997\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>M\u00e9t\u00e9o-France<\/strong><\/a> offer a radar map, videos and hour-by-hour forecasts for 15 days.

Depending on the weather you're looking for, you won't pack the same suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"printemps-mars-a-mai-la-meilleure-meteo-de-lannee\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spring (March to May): the best weather of the year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's the ideal time of year, between 15\u00b0C and 29\u00b0C, with plenty of sunshine without being aggressive. The gardens were in full bloom. There are still a few showers in March (37 mm), but broad sunny spells soon return. The ochre facades were bathed in light, and the weather was not yet too heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"ete-juin-a-aout-forte-chaleur-nuits-enfin-tiedes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer (June to August): high heat, warm nights at last<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June marks the transition. From June onwards, maximum temperatures rise rapidly, reaching 37\u00b0C in July, with peaks of 45\u00b0C under the Chergui. Life comes to a halt between 1pm and 5pm, and the low humidity prevents it from getting too muggy. In June, as in August, hydration is a priority and the evenings finally warm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"automne-septembre-a-octobre-douceur-et-moins-de-monde\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Autumn (September to October): mild and less crowded<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">September is a continuation of summer without its excesses: 33\u00b0C during the day, with cooler evenings. In October, 28\u00b0C in the afternoon and 14\u00b0C in the evening. The numbers drop off after the start of the school year. This is the period we recommend to our customers for visiting properties in a calm environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"hiver-novembre-a-fevrier-le-grand-ecart-avec-la-france\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winter (November to February): the big difference with France<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marrakchi winter can be disconcerting for visitors from France. January afternoons are bright and sunny, with temperatures hovering around 19\u00b0C, and lunch is served on the terrace. But as soon as the sun disappears behind the Atlas Mountains, the mercury plummets to 6\u00b0C-8\u00b0C at night. The rare thunderstorms fall mainly on Friday or Saturday, briefly, before the fine weather returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"climat-et-immobilier-ce-que-la-meteo-change-pour-votre-riad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Climate and property: what the weather means for your riad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The weather in Marrakech isn't just a question of luggage. The mud walls of the riads have exceptional thermal inertia: they keep the night air cool during the day, and the central patio provides natural ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fountains lower the temperature by 2 to 3\u00b0C, complemented by discreet air conditioning in our luxury riads.

In summer, it is almost non-existent, 2 to 5 mm per month. Humidity remains low all year round, making the climate very dry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780407473253\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">When is the best month to visit Marrakech?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>April and October are ideal. In April, between 12\u00b0C and 26\u00b0C, gardens in bloom and pleasantly mild temperatures. In October, between 14\u00b0C and 28\u00b0C with fewer tourists. For property visits, we recommend October or March.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780407479003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What is the coldest month in Marrakech?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>January, with lows of 6\u00b0C at night, but pleasant afternoons of around 19\u00b0C in the sunshine. Lunch on the terrace at midday and coats out in the evening: nothing like the winter in France.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L&rsquo;essentiel \u00e0 retenir : Plus de 300 jours de soleil, un climat semi-aride et une forte amplitude entre le jour et la nuit.
