Traveller notes on Ouarzazate in November

Notes from nearby Marrakesh (132 km away)

Ouarzazate doesn't have its own notes for November yet — these are about Marrakesh, close enough to share the season.

November in Marrakech is a good month with a catch the forum repeats without variation: whatever the day does, the night will be cold. Their daytime figures of 18 to 24C sit just under our row's 25.1C average high, and their evening figures of 10 to 12C are our 11.2C almost exactly - which in practice means a jacket after dark and the end of eating outside. The days themselves are unpredictable year to year, one visitor reporting 12 to 18C and another 26 to 36C in the same month, and a third getting sunbathing weather most days with rain one afternoon and several evenings. Our row's 21mm across 4.3 days is the modest version. The record: humidity 58 percent, 9 hours of sun and AQI 40.

Other months in Ouarzazate

Regulars are specific this month can swing well outside its own stated averages, one traveler's actual trip recording a high of 32C and a low of 6C against a typical 24C/10C range, with no rain encountered at all. Our row backs that mild, genuinely dry read, 16.1C over 8.6C nights feeling 5C, with rain minimal at 7.2mm across just 1.7 days and humidity low at 38.4 percent. Regulars are consistent this carries elevated sandstorm risk locally, warm pleasant daytime highs paired with desert nights that can drop close to freezing even when the afternoon felt genuinely comfortable. The record: 10.9 hours of sun, an 18.8 kph wind and AQI 62.

Ouarzazate forum threads describe April as warm but not scorching by day, with genuinely cold nights, especially heading toward the mountains - the classic desert-edge day/night swing. Posters noted temperatures typically run cooler at the end of April than by mid-May, and the standard advice is to pack layers since both a hot afternoon and a cold evening are likely on the same day. One thread clarified that while Ouarzazate sits in a semi-arid zone that feels close to desert, it isn't true Sahara-dry - for that, forum regulars pointed further out to Merzouga, Zagora or M'Hamid.

Forum posters generally describe October across Morocco as good, sunny and warm, though they're direct that conditions vary a lot by region and even day to day - one poster cited a range as wide as 6C to 43C depending on where and when. Posters comparing desert-edge towns note that nearby Merzouga can run close to 30C by day in mid-October with warm nights, while Ouarzazate, sitting at higher elevation between Marrakech and the desert, should run a touch cooler than that. Posters also flag a practical detail: Morocco stays on summer time until late October, so daylight hours extend a bit later than travelers might expect. Posters generally rate October as a comfortable, warm and reliably dry time to visit Ouarzazate.
