August Weather in Casablanca
Is August Right for You?
Advantages
- Perfect mild temperatures for all-day walking through medinas - August's 27°C (80°F) highs are comfortable for exploring without the intense heat of summer months
- Fewer European tourists than peak December-March season means better hotel rates (typically 30-40% lower) and shorter lines at Hassan II Mosque
- Atlantic breeze keeps coastal areas pleasant - Corniche and Ain Diab beach districts stay 3-4°C (5-7°F) cooler than inland areas
- Ramadan doesn't fall in August 2025, so all restaurants and cafes operate normal hours unlike rotating religious calendar years
Considerations
- Occasional light rain showers (10 days average) can disrupt outdoor market browsing, though they're typically brief 15-20 minute bursts
- Higher humidity at 70% makes indoor air conditioning essential for afternoon breaks, especially in traditional riads without modern cooling
- Some hammams reduce operating hours during warmer months, closing earlier around 6pm instead of typical 8pm schedules
Best Activities in August
Hassan II Mosque Complex Tours
August's mild mornings (21°C/69°F) are perfect for exploring this architectural masterpiece. The mosque's coastal location benefits from Atlantic breezes, and fewer crowds mean better photo opportunities and more intimate guided experiences. Interior tours showcase intricate craftsmanship without the shoulder-to-shoulder crowding of peak season.
Old Medina Food Walking Tours
August's comfortable temperatures make 3-4 hour walking food tours enjoyable without overheating. Local produce is at peak freshness, and traditional summer dishes like cold almond milk and seasonal fruit pastries are readily available. The medina's narrow alleys provide natural shade and cooling.
Ain Diab Beach District Exploration
August's warm but not scorching temperatures make beachfront walks and outdoor cafe sitting perfect. The Atlantic keeps temperatures 3-4°C cooler than downtown. Beach clubs operate full summer schedules, and evening ocean breezes create ideal conditions for sunset dining at waterfront restaurants.
Art Deco Architecture Walking Tours
August's moderate temperatures are perfect for 2-3 hour architectural walks through Casablanca's unique 1930s French colonial buildings. Morning light enhances photography of white facades, and comfortable weather allows detailed exploration of downtown's architectural gems without rushing between air-conditioned stops.
Traditional Hammam Experiences
August's humidity makes traditional steam baths particularly refreshing and beneficial for skin. Many hammams offer special summer treatments with cooling mint and rose water. The contrast between outdoor warmth and hammam heat followed by cool rinses provides perfect temperature relief.
Royal Golf Dar Es Salam Rounds
August's mild mornings and Atlantic breezes create ideal golfing conditions at Morocco's premier course. Temperatures stay comfortable through morning rounds, and afternoon thunderstorms are brief (15-20 minutes) if they occur. The course's eucalyptus trees provide natural cooling.
