Agadir weather at a glance
Agadir sits on the Atlantic coast of southern Morocco. The numbers on this page are long-term averages for 1991–2020 from the Moroccan national weather service, published through the World Meteorological Organization for the station at Agadir Inezgane. They describe what is typical, not what will happen on your dates.
The pattern is easy to remember. Summer is warm and almost completely dry. Winter is mild, with the highest rainfall in November and December. Spring and early autumn sit in between. Even in the coolest month the average daytime high is above 21 °C, but nights in January fall to about 8 °C, so pack a layer for the evenings.

Highs rise from 23.4 °C in March to 24.2 °C in May, and lows from 12 °C to 16 °C. Rainfall drops quickly, from 31.3 mm in March to 5.4 mm in May. April and May are a good balance of mild days and little rain.

Best time to visit Agadir by plan
No month suits everything, so start from what you want to do.
Beach days
June to September has the warmest air and almost no rain. Read the safety notes on the beach page before you swim, because strong currents are a risk on Moroccan beaches in any month.
Sightseeing
The Kasbah hill, the souk and the museum involve a lot of walking and some exposure to the sun. Spring and the cooler months are easier than midsummer afternoons. See the Kasbah guide and the Souk El Had guide for opening details.
Hiking and Paradise Valley
The regional tourism board describes nearly empty pools in summer and recommends spring or autumn. Heavy rain can cause sudden floods in mountain valleys, so avoid river valleys after storms. Details are on the Paradise Valley page.
A flexible, quiet trip
If you want mild weather and are happy to accept some rain, February to May and October are worth a look. Rainfall in those months ranges from 5.4 mm in May to 31.3 mm in March.
Sunshine and what to pack
Practical points that follow from the climate.
Morocco's national tourism office speaks of around 300 sunny days a year. That is a general tourism figure and not a meteorological statistic, so treat it as a sign that sunshine is common, not as a promise. You will still want a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen in every season.
For a visit between December and March, add a warm layer and a rain jacket. For June to September, light clothes and a water bottle matter more.
For the trip from the airport into town, see the Agadir airport guide. If you are still choosing a base, the where to stay page compares the main areas.
