What's the Weather like in Casablanca in November
While November hails the start of the 'wet season', in Casablanca, the mild Mediterranean climate ensures there are still plenty more good days than bad in this Moroccan city.
Rainfall
In total, just 60mm of rain are forecast to fall throughout the entire month. And though this is only second to February in terms of quantity of rainfall, that still only equates to 8 days within the 30 that will experience any wet weather.
Traditionally, most of the rain will fall at the end of the month. And even when the rain does fall, no shower is too long, and it is highly unlikely to spoil the entire day.
Temperature
Even if the rain is falling, average temperatures of 17°C ensure Casablanca is still nice and warm. Many of the restaurants and bars have shelters and or Bedouin style covers to add authenticity to their external areas, ensuring that, no matter what the climate, the fun doesn't have to stop.
Average Sunshine Hours
Temperatures can still reach average highs of 21°C, offering plenty of beach days in a gloriously sunny climate. The winter sun does mean there is an average of only three hours of sunshine on most days, but the Moroccans know just how to make the most of them.
Average Sea Temperature
Stronger winds and more challenging waves provide the perfect climate for surfers and windsurfers along the coastline of Casablanca at this time of the year, with swells that will truly impress. And it doesn't even matter if you fall in once or twice. Average sea temperatures of 20°C keep the water very appealing.
At night, the temperatures are likely to cool considerably, and an extra layer is usually necessary. Traditionally average lows will fall to approximately 12°C in November. And though this might be far warmer than the climate back home, for those that have experienced balmy night time temperatures of 20°C in Casablanca in August, November nights can seem a little on the chilly side.
