Best time to visit Agadir

Agadir is a city of two halves. January scores 94 and August scores 30 — a 64-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. 6 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 38.9 °C and January the coolest at 22.6 °C — a 16.3 °C spread across the year. 174 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. February, March, November and December carry the rain — up to 5 wet days in a month — while June to August drop as low as 0. That 5-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Agadir, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in September to October — 21.3 °C at its warmest against 17.2 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 10.2 hours in winter to 14.1 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are January, February, March. The one to think twice about is August. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
