Weather in Morocco in May

Cooler conditions in May are generally found in the mountains and along the northern and Atlantic coasts, where breezes and elevation keep temperatures gentler.

• Chefchaouen: Cooler Regions in May: Corfu's Mountainous Interior and Shaded Villages? Where Corfu is mostly sunny, the north-east wins the coolest refuge a visitor can find in May, thanks to its wooded hills and fresh mountain air. Pair a relaxed stay at Roda or nearby Acharavi with mild afternoons, quiet beaches and short drives to shaded villages, all well suited to travellers who prefer comfortable warmth over peak midsummer heat.
• Ifrane: Ifrane sits in the Middle Atlas and is typically cooler than most of Morocco in May, with fresh mountain air and pine-covered surroundings. The town is known for its Alpine-style architecture and is a quieter alternative to the busier imperial cities. Days are usually comfortable for walking, though evenings can feel cold enough to warrant warm layers. We recommend Ifrane for travellers seeking a calmer, cooler escape from the heat of the plains.
• Tafraoute: Tafraoute lies in the Anti-Atlas and typically enjoys milder May conditions than the lowland interior, with clear skies and moderate daytime warmth. The surrounding valleys and painted boulders are best explored on foot during the cooler morning hours. Nights can be fresh, which makes the area pleasant for relaxed evenings. We think Tafraoute is ideal for walkers who want a quieter landscape without the intensity of the desert plains.
• Asilah: Asilah sits on the Atlantic coast, a short hop from the northern port city of the Strait, and is typically cooler than the inland cities in May, thanks to steady sea breezes. The whitewashed walls and street murals are pleasant to explore in mild spring temperatures, and the town rarely feels overly hot. Expect a fresher feel by the water, especially in the evenings. For travellers who want a relaxed coastal town with comfortable weather, Asilah is a strong option. It is exactly the brief our Cheap Morocco Holidays deals are built around.
• Tangier: Tangier is typically mild in May, with a fresher feel than the southern cities due to its northern coastal position and frequent sea breezes. The city's hilly streets are easier to walk when the temperature is moderate, and views across the Strait of Gibraltar are often clear. Evenings are usually cool enough for a light layer by the water. We suggest Tangier for those who want a comfortable, mild northern climate with easy access to other regions.
