Agadir: the better choice for milder evenings

Agadir suits travellers who want time by the coast without expecting a warm sea. Days average 24°C and nights 14°C, making evenings milder than in Marrakech, though a light layer is still useful. With 2 rainy days on average, it is also the drier choice. The catch is the 17°C sea: enjoying the shore and enjoying a long swim are different propositions. There can be hotter weather too, with 37% of days exceeding 25°C. Pack light daytime clothing and sun protection, and keep your plans flexible enough to take a break from the midday heat when temperatures climb.

Marrakech: warm days with a cooler finish

Marrakech is a good fit if your priority is spending time outdoors during the day rather than swimming. Its 24°C daytime average matches Agadir, so there is no clear winner for typical daytime warmth. The difference comes after sunset: nights average 10°C, making a jumper or jacket a sensible addition to your bag. Rain is also more likely to affect plans here, with 5 rainy days on average. Keep an indoor option in mind rather than assuming every day will stay dry. April offers a useful balance for travellers who like daytime warmth and do not mind covering up in the evening.
