מזג האוויר בטנג'יר באוגוסט

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 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.
