Tangier weather in 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 northern Morocco, Tangier included, as starting to turn cold and possibly rainy by November, with posters flagging November as historically the wettest month of the year for the country overall. Posters are direct that Morocco's size and geographic diversity mean November weather varies enormously by region - the same month can bring nice sunny days, snow storms, and stretches of solid rain depending on exactly where you are. Posters consistently recommend the deep south, around Marrakech and beyond, for the best chance of warmth in November, implicitly framing Tangier and the north as the cooler, wetter end of that range. Posters generally recommend planning for cooler, rain-capable conditions and packing accordingly for a November visit to Tangier specifically.

May is the forum's recommended month for northern Morocco, and Tangier is specifically what they suggest when someone wants to dodge the heat building inland — Fes can already be hot by late May while the north stays milder. Tangier itself runs near 24°C by day and 15 overnight, with rain down to under four days and the countryside still green with spring flowers. Two honest notes: May can still turn rainy, and one traveller's late-May 2025 report describes an early heatwave running hot and dry for a fortnight. The sea is still cool, around 18°C.
