Weather in Fes in April

Prime time. April is about as good as Fes gets. Highs average 24.4 °C, lows 11.2 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

April is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is May, and the month at the other end of the year is August.

Rain on 8 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 4 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest April day reached 34.4 °C and the coldest night fell to 4.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 66 mm — roughly 92% of the month's rain in one day.

April is moderately variable: 3 mm in the driest year against 175 mm in the wettest, around an average of 72 mm. Roughly two Aprils in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 8.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 67%.

How April sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 2.7 °C warmer than March, and May adds another 4.1 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in April

13 hours of daylight, gaining 1 hours across the month. That is between Fes's extremes of 14.4 and 9.9 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 32.4 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

April in Fes versus nearby

If Fes is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Chefchaouen is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.9 °C cooler, 2 days more rain. Tangier is close enough to be a coin toss — 5.9 °C cooler, the same number of rain days.

So: April is the answer for Fes. If it is booked out or priced out, May is the next best thing at 2 points behind, and August is the month to keep off the shortlist.
