Weather in Morocco in April

In April the warmest days are usually found inland, where the interior sits further from the cooling influence of the Atlantic.

• Marrakech: Warmest Regions in April: Sidari on Corfu's north-west coast enjoys some of the island's most reliable spring sunshine, with daytime temperatures typically climbing into the low twenties Celsius. Its sheltered sandy bays and clear shallow water make it an appealing choice for early-season swimming, while the surrounding cliffs and sea breezes keep afternoons pleasant rather than oppressive. It is exactly the brief our Morocco holidays deals are built around.
• Agadir: Agadir is one of the warmest coastal resorts in April, and its sheltered bay and long promenade make it a reliable choice for sunshine seekers. Because the town faces the Atlantic, the sea breeze keeps it milder than the inland plains even when the days are bright. The resort is also well placed for day trips inland if you want a change of scenery. Beach time suits April well, though the sea is still fresh for swimming, so many visitors prefer to walk the bay rather than swim.
• Essaouira: Essaouira is warm in April but noticeably breezier than the inland cities of Morocco, and the wind along the ramparts can make the afternoons feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. The town is a short walk from its fishing harbour, so you can enjoy the sea air and seafood without travelling far. Its reputation for windsurfing comes from these steady winds, which is worth knowing if you plan to spend long hours outdoors. We suggest a light jacket for the coast and an early start for the medina to avoid the strongest gusts.
• Fes: Fes sits inland in the north-central region, where April days are generally warm and comfortable for exploring the old medina on foot. The narrow lanes of Fes el-Bali offer shade for much of the day, which helps when the sun is strongest. Evenings can be cool, so a light layer is useful after dark. The city is well suited to a slow pace, with long, unhurried walks through the craft quarters, and it is a good option if you want warmth with a more historic feel than the coastal towns. It is exactly the brief our Morocco Luxury Holidays deals are built around.
• Merzouga: Merzouga, on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, is one of the hotter spots in the eastern desert during April, with days that can feel very warm under clear skies. The desert air is dry and the temperature drops sharply once the sun sets, so nights in camp can be surprisingly cool. Dune treks are best planned for the early morning or late afternoon. This makes Merzouga an excellent choice for adventurous travellers, though we advise packing layers and sun protection for the contrast between day and night.
