What's the Weather like in Casablanca in June
Average Sunshine Hours
June is the brightest time to visit Casablanca. With more daily sunshine hours than any other month of the year, it seems the sun is always out. But for those that are concerned about peak summer temperatures, June is still relatively mild.
Temperature
An average of 12 hours of daily sunshine are forecast every day of the month in June, all with average peak temperatures reaching up to 23°C. However this is still approximately three degrees lower than the average highs over the next three months, which will usually near closer to 26°C.
Average Sea Temperature
While the air is warm, the sea is truly inviting, offering average water temperatures of 21°C. Although a lot of swimmers will choose to spend their time in the many pools in the city, rather than braving the strong tides in the sea.
Rainfall
And as the summer starts, rain becomes almost non-existent in Casablanca. It is forecasted that there could be some rain on just 1 day in June, which could see up to 10mm of rain falling. But it is very likely that there will be no rain at all seen in the city from now until well into September.
Thanks to the dry weather conditions, as the temperatures do rise, humidity conditions stay very comfortable. And while night time temperatures averaging 17°C mean that air conditioning is advisable, the air never gets as sticky as it does in neighbouring areas.
However it is wise to be vigilant when it comes to the June sun in Casablanca. Though the city will protect you from some of the heat, temperatures reached up to 39°C in June 2011 which means sun protection and suitable water supplies are always vital.
But for those that want some early summer sun with a forecast of consistently good weather, the climate in Casablanca in June makes this part of Morocco very inviting.
