Fes's Climate
Fes lies in northern Morocco, inland at the foot of the Middle Atlas mountains and far from the Atlantic coast. It has a Mediterranean climate with a stronger continental edge owing to its sheltered, inland position. Summers (June–September) are hot and very dry, with daytime highs typically 33–38°C and the occasional searing chergui wind off the desert, while winters (December–February) are cool and wet, with plenty of rain and nights that can fall to 3–7°C, sometimes with frost. Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are mild, green and the most comfortable times of year. Most rain falls in the cooler months.
