What's the Weather like in Casablanca in February
Rainfall
Though February is the wettest month of the year in Casablanca, the weather can hardly be considered disappointing. Only 7 days of the month are likely to see any rain. And when the rain does fall, only a total of 70mm is likely throughout the entire 7 days.
Rainfall in Casablanca is usually strong and quick. So even if it does rain at some point in the day, it is very unlikely that the skies will not clear, leaving behind milder, beautiful Moroccan weather.
Average Sunshine Hours
February will usually see the same number of average daily sunshine hours when compared with the first month of the year. On average, February will enjoy 3 hours of sun each day, providing average temperatures of 13°C across the region.
Temperature
While average high temperatures are also usually very similar to January, enjoying periods of warm weather reaching 17°C, there is some improvement in minimum average temperatures. This means the temperature is unlikely to fall below 9°C on average throughout February, and the likelihood of a frost is very slim indeed.
Average Sea Temperature
The sea temperature also reaches its lowest point in February, and will usually stay at this point throughout March as well. But with the lowest sea temperature a very inviting 17°C, it is not unusual to see residents and tourists enjoying some beach time during the month. Kite surfing and board surfing are very popular in this area of Casablanca, especially in February, when some of the swells will be at their peak.
Though Casablanca in February can be cooler than other months of the year, offering more rain and less sun, even in the worst weather, the climate is still far milder than most of Northern Europe. And for those that want to get away from the chilly winter climate back home and enjoy a much more mild weather pattern, Casablanca offers a very welcoming alternative.
Casablanca Hotels in February
Ibis Casablanca Nearshore
The Ibis Casablanca Nearshore is the ideal place to stay for those that want to visit Casablanca on a budget. Located just 15 minutes from the airport and from the city centre, this hotel is ideal for both business and leisure and offers a very economical alternative to more centrally situated hotels. Its remote location proves ideal for those that are concerned about city noise. And if you don't want to take a taxi to the nearest restaurants and bars, the in-house restaurant can always accommodate.
Villa Blanca Hotel & Spa
The proximity of Villa Blanca Hotel & Spa to the beach makes it a very popular place to stay in Casablanca throughout the year. With a club and bar within the hotel itself, this complex is frequented by guests of the hotel and locals from the town. This ensures the hotel is never quiet not even in the wettest month of the year. But the local facilities don't stop there. An eclectic range of food vendors and restaurants offer flavours from all over the world just outside the hotel. Or the bistro on site delivers a particularly good menu. The staff are friendly, and always on hand. It's the perfect way to have some fun.
Casablanca Youth Hostel
For travellers who are looking for a very friendly place to stay, you need look no further than the Casablanca Youth Hostel. Though the shared dormitories are basic, the beds are clean and the hostel is situated directly in the middle of the city, close to many more very expensive hotels. The beach and the train station are within easy reach, making it the ideal place to stay when money is tight. Even in peak season this accommodation is very affordable, but in the low season in February you would have to go far to beat the prices here.
Bars and Restaurants
Cabaret Embassy
Situated in the heart of Mohammad V, Cabaret Embassy is a highly popular nightclub for all who visit Casablanca. The drinks are well mixed, the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is welcoming all year round. Live entertainment includes traditional music and dance, and the authentic décor makes you feel right at home. For those that want to see the true colours of Casablanca, a night at Cabaret Embassy has everything you could want and more.
Bar Restaurant Francais
When you want to spend a good night out in a lively bar in Casablanca, head down to Bar Restaurant Francais on rue Allal Ben Abdallah. A world away from the many nightclubs in Casablanca, upstairs in Francais is far more chilled out, with plenty of space to enjoy a good drink and a chat with friends. Or for something a little more active, head downstairs and enjoy good music, good drinks and good prices. With an extensive menu to satisfy when hunger bites, you can stop for one drink at Bar Restaurant Francais and end up staying all night.
Le Cabestan
For great food, great wine and exceptional views, book a table at Le Cabestan. One of the trendiest places in the city, the ocean views (even from the toilets) are simply breath-taking. Sit out on the terrace and watch the sun go down over the ocean while you enjoy a variety of simple, but flavoursome dishes. And with just the right music playing to create a magical atmosphere you are assured an eating experience you will never forget. Prices may be higher than more urban locations, but the quality of the food and the incredible ambience ensures you will be back for more.
