طقس شفشاون في أغسطس

Two winds run this town and regulars name both. The levante comes from the east and is the strong one - good kitesurfers wait for it, and when it really blows the beach becomes unusable and the port can close. The poniente comes from the west, gentler, and suits the beginners and some spots better. Our column gives 20 kph as an August average, which is the middle of a month that swings between those two. Otherwise it is a benign month: 27.1C reading as 30C, 21.2C nights, 2.3mm of rain and 12.5 hours of sun. The sea is 22.1C, cooler than the Mediterranean a few miles east because this is where the Atlantic begins. The record: humidity 73 percent and AQI 62.

Forum posters describe November in Chefchaouen as cooler and very possibly rainy, with more recent accounts specifically warning it can turn cold, rainy and genuinely miserable by late in the month. Posters attribute this partly to the town's setting - not just in Morocco's colder north but also at roughly 700-750m elevation, surrounded by mountains whose weather runs even less predictable than the surrounding lowlands. Posters consistently recommend layered clothing with a wind- and waterproof shell as essential for a November visit. Posters generally rate November as a weaker pick for Chefchaouen weather-wise, with spring (April-May) or September consistently recommended instead as better alternatives.

May is the forum's month for northern Morocco — longer days, greenery, spring flowers, and unlikely to be either too hot or too cold. Chefchaouen adds its own variable: at 750m the mountain weather changes fast, and posters describe all four seasons thrown at you in a single day. The record puts May at 24°C by day and 14 overnight, warmer than the 19–21°C some visitors report, while one 2025 trip report describes an early heatwave running hot and dry. Spring rains more here than December does, though at under six wet days it is hardly a washout. Layers — and May rather than late March.
