Morocco is situated in the north-western corner of Africa, bordering
the
North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, between Algeria and
Mauritania. The northern coast of
Morocco and the interior mountains
(the Rif)
have a Mediterranean climate.
North western Morocco is exposed to the Atlantic depressions in winter rainfall is moderately heavy and reaches over 400 mm from Casablanca and above.
As far south as Agadir, the Atlantic coast is showered by over 200 mm of rain in winter. The climate becomes progressively drier as you go deeper and the Sahara desert extends to the coast.
Alongside the Atlantic coast, the temperatures are lower than along the Mediterranean coast and the interior of the country, due to the Canaries current and the cloud and fog that the offshore waters rise in summer.
Inside the country, the climate is influenced by height. Therefore winter snowfall can be very heavy at the Atlas Mountains and blowing winds can cause some very freezing days in winter and spring. At lower levels, the summers can be extremely hot while at medium altitudes the weather is pleasant and stable the whole year.
The weather in the
Saharan desert is practically rainless and very hot, despite some
sporadic meaningless showers in June and September. At the
region
where the desert reaches the coast, summer temperatures are nicely
moderated due to the cool ocean waters and persistent daytime sea
breezes.
Annual sunshine levels are more than 8 hours a day at the most wanted filming locations, such as Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Erfoud, and Agadir.
