Vejret i Chefchaouen (Blue City) i april

April here is genuinely two months in one deck of cards: regulars say it can be shorts and t-shirts or brisk and wet, with a good chance of either. Our row lands at 20.3C reading as 19C in a 23.8 kph wind, over 14.4C nights, with 54.4mm across 7.4 days. The thing this board explains to visitors over and over is the levanter - an easterly that pushes warm African air up the face of the Rock until it condenses into a cap of cloud. It is not rain, it sits on the summit rather than the town, and it either clears by early afternoon or hangs about for a day or two, so the cable car view is a matter of timing. The record: humidity 76 percent, 11.3 hours of sun, a 16.8C sea and AQI 61.

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.
