In November, Marrakech is mild by day and cool at night: the average high is 23.1 °C, the average low 10.7 °C, and about 30 mm of rain falls over roughly four days. It is the month when autumn settles in properly, the evenings call for a jacket and sunset comes before 5:45 pm.
What is the weather like in Marrakech in November?
November afternoons are pleasant rather than warm: 23.1 °C on average, more than five degrees below October. Nights drop to 10.7 °C, and that is the change you notice most. Once the sun is down, the air cools fast, and humidity, at 62 % on average, is the highest of any month since February.
It is also one of the wetter months. The station records about 30 mm of rain, on 3.8 days with at least 1 mm on average, which puts November second in the year, after March. The rain still comes in short spells, a shower or a stormy afternoon, rather than in wet weeks.
Sunshine holds up well: about 229 hours over the month, some seven and a half hours a day. Most November days are bright and clear, with a sun that no longer weighs on you in the middle of the day.
November compared with October and December
| Month | High | Low | Rain | Rainy days | Sunshine | Sunset (15th) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October | 28.5 °C | 15.7 °C | 19.1 mm | 2.4 | 252 h | 17:59 |
| November | 23.1 °C | 10.7 °C | 29.8 mm | 3.8 | 229 h | 17:32 |
| December | 20.1 °C | 7.3 °C | 24.2 mm | 4.1 | 227 h | 17:29 |
November is where autumn changes pace. Between October and November, the average high falls by more than five degrees and the night low by five, and the rain rises by half. The step to December is smaller: three more degrees off by day and night, a similar number of rainy days, and almost the same sunshine.
Sunrise and sunset in November
On 15 November, the sun rises at 6:59 am and sets at 5:32 pm, at GMT (UTC+0), the time in Morocco since 20 September 2026: about 10 hours 33 minutes of daylight. Sunset has moved some 27 minutes earlier since mid-October, then almost stops moving: by mid-December it comes only three minutes earlier again.
Morocco’s time changes neither in summer nor during Ramadan.
In November, the afternoon departure in Agafay is at 4:00 pm, and the meeting point at the base is at the start time. Sunset in mid-November is at about 5:32 pm. Agafay at sunset gives the sunset time for every month and the fixed afternoon departures.
The Agafay desert in November
The Agafay desert, 45 minutes from the city, shares Marrakech’s climate, but it is an open plateau of stone with very little shade. In November that works in your favour by day: at around 23 °C, the whole day is comfortable in the open, midday included. It works against you after sunset, when the plateau loses its heat quickly and the evening heads towards 11 °C.
So November suits daytime outings of any length, and evenings with a warm layer. The 2-hour buggy drive fits a morning or an afternoon without worrying about the heat. The dinner and live music evening (departures at 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm) is served under tents whose sides are closed when the evening turns cold; bring a jacket all the same. Rain is rarely a problem: the ground is firm stone rather than sand, and the tracks stay usable after a shower.
What to wear in Marrakech in November
- By day: light layers — a T-shirt with a long-sleeved top — for afternoons around 23 °C.
- In the evening: a jacket or fleece; nights fall to about 11 °C.
- In the desert: closed shoes and sunglasses — the tracks are dusty — and a proper coat if you stay out after dark.
- For the rain: a light waterproof, for the four or so rainy days.

Is November a good time to visit Marrakech?
For mild weather, yes. November is one of the two autumn months that Marrakech weather month by month counts among the most comfortable for being outdoors: afternoons around 23 °C and plenty of sun. It is cooler and wetter than October, though, with about four rainy days, and the evenings are properly cool. If you want the warmth to last into the evening, October is the month; if you prefer cool days to warm ones, November suits better.
