Daytime temperatures are pleasant for sightseeing, typically ranging from 24°C on the Atlantic coast (Agadir, Taghazout) to 30°C inland (Marrakech). The Atlas Mountains and northern regions like Fez are cooler, around 22–26°C. Sea temperatures remain warm enough for swimming, especially in Taghazout and Agadir, where the ocean lingers near 21°C.

The coast is breezier, while southern destinations like Taghazout stay warm into early November. For comparison, Dubai is hotter this month, but Morocco’s evenings are more comfortable.
