Agadir for warmer days and milder evenings

Agadir is the better choice if warmth is your priority, with daytime temperatures averaging 21°C and nights around 11°C. That makes light clothing useful during warmer afternoons, but bring a jumper or jacket for evenings rather than packing only summer clothes. With 3 rainy days on average, rain is less likely to interrupt your plans than in Marrakech, though a light waterproof remains sensible. Do not count on sustained heat: only 17% of days exceed 25°C. This is weather for relaxed time outdoors and sitting by the sea when conditions suit, rather than a trip built around hot afternoons and warm-water swimming.

Marrakech for mild afternoons, with colder nights

Marrakech averages 19°C during the day, making February a reasonable choice if you prefer being outdoors without relying on strong heat. The catch comes after sunset: nights average 5°C, so a warm jacket and clothes you can layer are more useful than an entirely lightweight wardrobe. Rain also deserves more room in your plans, with 6 rainy days on average. Keep outdoor plans flexible rather than assuming every afternoon will be dry. Across Morocco, average daily sunshine is 7.2 hours, so February offers scope for time in the sun, but that does not remove the need to prepare for chilly starts and evenings.
