The climate of Marrakech is fairly appealing throughout the year, with plenty of sunshine to soak up and enjoy. However, the weather experienced within Marrakech can be rather changeable at times and although there is usually plenty of sun during the winter months, the likelihood of rain at this time of the year increases.
​
Winter temperatures are at their lowest in January and February, although still manage to average 18°C / 64°F or 19°C / 66°F on many days, even topping 20°C / 68°F on occasion, although by night, it can feel quite cold and a jacket will certainly be necessary. As you would expect, the summer climate in Marrakech is considerably warmer and temperatures peak at more than 30°C / 86°F and can climb much higher 40-45°C.
