On the Atlantic coast, the climate is almost identical to 22 ° C in Agadir in January and 30 ° C in August. The sea water can be a little cool for swimming even in summer, never exceeding 21 ° C, but this allows you to mitigate the hot summer days.

In Marrakech, the weather is warmer, especially in summer when temperatures can exceed 40 ° C. To cool off a bit, you can reach the mountainous regions of the Atlas or the Rif, where you can make beautiful hikes. Rainfall in summer is very scarce.
