Chefchaouen (Blue City) sää — lokakuu

Regulars name the Levanter directly as this month's defining weather quirk - an easterly wind off the warm Mediterranean that condenses into a visible cloud capping the Rock's east-facing side even as the town below stays dry and humid rather than genuinely wet. Our row backs a real, mixed-bag month, 23.1C over 17.7C nights, with 63.7mm of rain across 7.4 days that regulars describe as coming and going rather than settling in. Regulars call this a good time to visit overall - cooler, less busy, plenty of sunny days - with a jacket for the evenings the standard packing advice. The sea sits at 19.9C. The record: humidity 78 percent, 9.5 hours of sun, a 20.9 kph wind and AQI 54.

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.
