Choose Morocco for daytime warmth, Tunisia for less flying

Agadir suits travellers who put afternoon warmth ahead of sea swimming. Its 24°C days and 3 rainy days make it a strong choice for spending time outdoors, with a flight of 3 h 48 min. The catch is the 19°C sea: inviting air temperatures do not mean equally warm water. Pack a layer for nights around 14°C. Marrakech offers a shorter flight at 3 h 36 min, but its 22°C days give way to 8°C nights, so evening clothing needs more thought. For less time flying, Sousse takes 3 h 6 min and combines 22°C days with a 21°C sea. You trade some of Agadir's warmth and dryness for that convenience, with 6 rainy days.

Choose the Canaries if swimming and mild evenings matter

Gran Canaria and La Gomera make the strongest all-round case for travellers who want warm afternoons, swimming and relatively few rainy days. Both have 23°C days, a 22°C sea and 4 rainy days, though the flight takes 4 h 24 min. La Gomera's 20°C nights are particularly useful if you dislike changing into warmer clothes after dark. Tenerife matches their daytime and sea temperatures but has 6 rainy days, making it a less convincing choice if avoiding rain is your priority. La Palma reverses the usual emphasis: its sea is 23°C while daytime air reaches 20°C. It suits those who care more about the water than lying out in warmth, provided they accept 5 rainy days and the same flight time.

Choose drier weather over maximum heat

Fuerteventura and Lanzarote suit travellers who would rather give up a little warmth than plan around more rainy days. Both have 2 rainy days and a 21°C sea; Fuerteventura is warmer by day at 22°C, against Lanzarote's 21°C. Their flights take 4 h 12 min and 4 h 6 min respectively, so neither saves much flying compared with the warmer Canary options. Valletta offers a clearer flight-time saving at 3 h 18 min, but its 20°C days come with 9 rainy days: choose it for mild weather rather than a rain-averse beach break. Hammamet is another shorter-flight compromise, with 20°C days, a 21°C sea and 7 rainy days. Keep outdoor plans flexible in either.
