Climate:
Morocco's climate is moderate and subtropical, cooled by breezes
off the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. In the interior the
temperatures are more extreme: winters can be fairly cold and the
summers very hot. Marrakech has an average winter temperature of
21�C (70�F) and summer temperature of 100°F (38°C). In the Atlas
Mountains temperatures can drop below zero and mountain peaks are
snow-capped throughout most of the year. The winter in the north of
the country is wet and rainy; while in the south, at the edge of
the Moroccan Sahara, it is dry and bitterly cold. Weather-wise, the
best time to visit Morocco is between April and early June, or
between September and November, when the weather is warm and dry
(and there aren't too many tourists around, either).
