What's the Weather like in Casablanca in January

Average Sea Temperature

January may be the coldest month of the year in Casablanca, but with average daily highs of 17°C and sea temperatures of around 18°C, there will still be plenty of people at the beach.

The rough waves and the ongoing wind means that this is the ideal time to go surfing in Casablanca. January is right in the middle of the swell season which lasts from October to April, so expect the seas to be busy.

Rainfall

Along with November, January is also the second wettest month of the year in the region, only beaten by the following month of February. But with only 8 days of the month expecting any rainfall, and 60mm of precipitation throughout the entire month, the majority of every day will be dry.

This mild winter weather is the ideal way to escape the cold back home. And with the many restaurants and cafes equipped for al fresco dining all year round, for those that want to spend time in the city without the crowds, January is a great time to visit.

Average Sunshine Hours

As it is winter, you can't expect too much sun when compared with the peak summer months. The average number of daily sunshine hours at this time of the year will only be about three hours per day. But this is on par with Northern European cities such as London, and it is still far warmer than any days in January back home.

Temperature

Average temperatures, even at this time of the year, are still a very mild 13°C, which means the chances of having a frost are negligible. And though historically temperatures have fallen to -1°C in 2005, this was the coldest ever recorded temperature in the region and very unlikely to happen again. Even in the depths of night in January, minimum temperatures average 8°C creating a very pleasant climate for everyone.

Casablanca Hotels in January

Hotel les Saisons

January is one of the times that offer the most exceptional deals on accommodation in Casablanca, including the Hotel les Saisons. Though it might still not be the cheapest place to stay in the city, the location, the service and the amenities ensure you get fabulous return for your cash.

The bedrooms are spacious and magnificently comfortable, while the staff are always on hand whenever the need arises. The food is top quality and offers a great range of choices. Even if you couldn't afford to stay in Hotel Les Saisons in the peak summer period, a trip in the winter is a wonderful treat.

La Trianon Luxury Hotel and Spa

Le Trianon Luxury Hotel and Spa is a magnificent place to stay in Casablanca at any time of the year.

And if you like to shop, then you are in the best place, the variety of street vendors and retail facilities surrounding the hotel will always prove worthy. A small gym and spa facilities are also available on site to provide a truly diverting place to stay.

Washington Hotel

The Washington Hotel was first erected in 1954, but after a recent renovation the interior offers a beautiful mix of traditional style and up to date amenities. Boasting a four star rating, this hotel is situated right in the middle of the city, providing easy access to many of the most popular tourist attractions. Take a walk to the many local restaurants and bars that are gathered on the streets around the hotel. Or enjoy the full schedule of entertainments within the onsite nightclub.

While you are waiting, enjoy the authentic ambience and the variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on offer. Prices are a little higher than other local restaurants in the area, but that simply reflects the quality of the food and the entertainment you are there to enjoy.

Things to do in Casablanca in January

The Museum of Moroccan Judaism

The Benigo Home was originally a Jewish Orphanage, but now it has been transformed into an imperative part of the city's history. The Museum of Moroccan Judaism shows what it was like for Jews living in Morocco and helps all its visitors understand the history of Moroccan culture for the Jews. The wealth of artefacts inside really sheds light on how this eclectic city was influenced by some of its key residents. There are even segments from different synagogues that have played an important part in the history of Casablanca. Though a challenge to find, take the tram to Oasis station and walk the ten minutes to the museum. It is a wonderful place to spend time in Casablanca.
