Weather in Fes in October

A good month. October is a solid month to be in Fes. Highs average 28.9 °C, lows 16.3 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

October ranks 7 of 12 in Fes: past the worst of the year but short of April, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 8 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 28.9 °C days and 16.3 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 14 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest October day reached 39.7 °C and the coldest night fell to 4.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 57 mm — roughly 77% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. October rainfall has ranged from 16 mm to 277 mm across the twenty years measured — a 261 mm spread around an average of 74 mm. The average is real but almost no individual October looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 8.1 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 54%.

How October sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 4.9 °C cooler than September, with November dropping another 7.2 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in October

11.4 hours of daylight, losing 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

Busy. Popular without being frantic; book the things you care about, improvise the rest.

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

October 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 — 3.4 °C cooler, 2 days more rain. Tangier is close enough to be a coin toss — 6.4 °C cooler, 1 day more rain.

So: October works, with April the better month by 8 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
