Morocco in February: Weather, Where to Go and What to Do (2026)
February extends Morocco's mild winter while hinting at spring: the almond trees blossom in the southern valleys, winter sun warms Agadir and Marrakech, and prices stay low. An underrated month, perfect for escaping the European cold without the crowds.
In February, Morocco stays mild by day (19-21 °C in Marrakech, 20-22 °C in Agadir) but cool at night (5-8 °C). The almond blossom colors the southern valleys (Tafraoute, Aït Bouguemez). The Atlas is still snowy (skiing). Low season: low prices, few crowds. Ideal for winter sun, gentle hiking and the desert (cold nights).
