¿Cuál es el mejor mes para ir a Marruecos?

The best time to visit Morocco depends on the type of experience you’re seeking, as the country’s diverse geography offers different climates. Generally, spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are considered the best times due to the mild and pleasant weather. Here’s a breakdown:

1. March to May (Spring)

• Why go: Ideal weather for sightseeing, trekking, and exploring cities like Marrakech, Fes, and Chefchaouen. Coastal areas like Essaouira are also pleasant.
• Temperature: Comfortable, with averages ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making it perfect for outdoor activities without the heat of summer.
• Events: The Rose Festival in the Dades Valley usually takes place in May.

2. September to November (Fall)

• Why go: Similar to spring, fall brings cooler temperatures after the intense summer heat, particularly in desert areas like the Sahara, which becomes more manageable.
• Temperature: Averages between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F), depending on the region.
• Events: The Erfoud Date Festival typically happens in October.

3. June to August (Summer)

• Why to avoid: This is the hottest time, especially in inland cities like Marrakech, where temperatures can soar above 40°C (104°F). It can be uncomfortable for sightseeing unless you’re in cooler mountain or coastal areas.
• Where to go if visiting: The Atlas Mountains or coastal cities like Essaouira or Tangier, where the temperatures remain cooler.

4. December to February (Winter)

• Why to go: Winter is good for visiting the Sahara Desert or skiing in the Atlas Mountains. While coastal areas remain mild, northern cities can get chilly, especially at night.
• Temperature: Ranges from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F) in cities, while the Atlas Mountains can experience snow.
• Events: Marrakesh hosts the International Film Festival in December.

Summary:

• Best months overall: April, May, September, and October for balanced weather across most regions.
• Avoid: July and August unless you’re focusing on the coast or mountains due to the extreme heat inland.
