Climate overview
Temperature
The coolest monthly mean is recorded in January, at 14.6 °C, while August has the warmest monthly mean, 23.9 °C. These are averages across each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they should not be read as the hottest conditions a visitor might experience. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 19.1 °C; it is a summary of monthly averages rather than a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest in November, at 1.60 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 0.00 mm/day. The latter is a rounded-zero average, not a guarantee of rain-free days. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily rainfall means is 0.70 mm/day; these daily averages are not monthly rainfall totals and do not show how often rain falls or how it is distributed from day to day.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly average in June, at 12.76 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 8.65 hours/day. These figures describe average hours of sunshine per day, not day length or a guarantee that each day will match the monthly mean.

Best Travel Time Guide for Essaouira, Morocco: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising cooler monthly average conditions, January is the relevant reference point, with a monthly mean temperature of 14.6 °C; this does not predict the temperature on any particular day or give a daytime high. If lower average rainfall is your priority, July is the corresponding option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.00 mm/day, though that rounded-zero average cannot guarantee dry weather. Rain preparation is worth considering especially around November, when mean daily rainfall is 1.60 mm/day; the average does not indicate how frequently rain occurs, so it cannot determine whether a specific outing will be wet. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, June has the highest mean daily sunshine duration at 12.76 hours/day, while December has the lowest at 8.65 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not daylight length, and neither monthly average guarantees conditions on an individual day.
