Most of the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco lies in the subtropical climate zone. On the coast, the Atlantic Ocean, and in the interior of the country - the Sahara Desert has a significant impact on it.

In summer, in remote areas from the sea and the ocean, it is very hot, even stuffy because of the desert winds. The air temperature in the daytime is up to + 30-40. At the same time, the air rapidly cools down to +20 degrees at night. At the beach resorts of the country the climate is much milder, there are not such big temperature drops, in the daytime + 26-28, in the evenings + 21-24. Water in the ocean warms up to + 20-22, in the sea it is warmer by a couple of degrees.

Rains in the warm season do not go mail, in all of Morocco is very dry. Precipitation begins to fall in October and gradually ceases in May. Well, in winter it is not uncommon to have abundant, although brief rains. The nature blooms, it becomes more green.

The average daily temperature drops to +12-13 on the coast and to + 9-10 in the foothills. The ocean cools to + 15-16, the sea to + 17-18 degrees.
