Casablanca Holiday Weather Overview
As Morocco's biggest city, Casablanca has a modern, sophisticated and cosmopolitan outlook, but beneath the European-chic veneer it is still an ancient city with Berber roots. The colonial and art deco architecture tells its own story, as does the charmingly authentic medina - although Casablanca is Morocco's economic powerhouse, it has not lost its roots.
Casablanca's Climate
Casablanca's position on the Atlantic gives it a moderate Mediterranean climate, with relatively stable temperatures and little seasonal variation in terms of warmth. Rain is rare between June and September, but moderate during the rest of the year. Mild winters give way to summers which are not as hot as elsewhere in Morocco, so Casablanca is a comfortable year round destination.
Casablanca in Spring
Spring is a popular time to visit Casablanca. Temperatures start to rise in March, from a daily high of around 19 degrees at the beginning of spring to the low 20s by the end of May. Night times range from 10-14 degrees so you may find it a little chilly in the evenings - bring a shawl or something with long sleeves if you're visiting Casablanca in the spring.
There isn't much greenery in or near Casablanca, so spring can feel a little barren if you're looking for natural beauty - however, it's a great season for exploring the medina and Casablanca's other sights.
Casablanca in Summer
Summers in Casablanca are pleasantly warm but not usually too hot. This is the busiest time of the year in the city, however, and it can become crowded. Expect daytime highs of around 25 degrees, with night time temperatures of around 18 degrees. You'll only need lightweight summer clothing and sunscreen for a summer visit to Casablanca - rain is extremely rare during the summer months.
Summer is a good time to soak up the sun on Casablanca's picturesque beach. If you do find it too warm, take a guided tour of the cool interiors in the mosque of Hassan II - the second largest mosque in the world.
Casablanca in Autumn
September and October remain warm in Casablanca, with daily highs of around 24 degrees. By November, however, the temperature cools a little, and temperatures fall to approximately 20 during the day and 12 Celsius at night. The rain begins to pick up in October, but this month still only sees rain on around 5 days. November gets a little wetter still, but it's nothing much and you'll be unlucky to catch a shower.
If you're visiting Casablanca in the autumn, take something with long sleeves to counter the chillier evenings.
Casablanca in Winter
The winter months in Casablanca never get truly cold, but temperatures in January can fall to 17 degrees during the day and 9 degrees at night, so it can feel comparatively cool. This is the quietest time of year in the city, and also the wettest - it rains on around 10 days a month now, but only for brief periods.
Winter can be a great time to explore the souks and alleyways of Casablanca and you can warm up with a sugary mint tea. Be aware that most hotels do not have heating, so you might feel the chill at night.
