Weather in Fes in September

Shoulder season. September sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. Highs average 33.8 °C, lows 19.6 °C, and rain falls on 5 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

September ranks 10 of 12 — near the bottom of Fes's year. April is the month that works, and the swing between the two is 54 points, which is a different holiday rather than a slightly better one.

Rain falls on only 5 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 33.8 °C days and 19.6 °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: 12 days clear 35 °C, so a serious heatwave is normal rather than notable. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest September day reached 44.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 13.4 °C.

This is the volatile part. September rainfall has ranged from 1 mm to 88 mm across the twenty years measured — a 87 mm spread around an average of 24 mm. The average is real but almost no individual September looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 8.4 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 47%.

How September sits in the year

The month is on the way down: 5.3 °C cooler than August, with October dropping another 4.9 °C. The first week and the last are not the same trip.

Daylight in September

12.4 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. Within September itself the daily swing is 14.2 °C, so mornings and afternoons need different clothes.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

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

September in Fes versus nearby

If Fes is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Chefchaouen is a better bet in September — 2.9 °C cooler, 1 day more rain. Tangier is a better bet in September — 8.8 °C cooler, 1 day less rain.

So: September is a compromise. April is 24 points better and is what Fes is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
