Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures reach their highest point in August, at 24.7 °C, and their lowest in January, at 16.3 °C. The mean across calendar-month means is 20.5 °C; it is an unweighted summary, not a day-weighted annual average. These figures help compare the broad temperature profile through the year, but monthly means are not daytime maximum temperatures and cannot describe the range visitors may encounter within a day.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in June / July, at 0.01 mm/day, and highest in October, at 0.31 mm/day. The mean across calendar-month means is 0.12 mm/day, rather than a day-weighted annual average. These are average daily amounts, not monthly totals: they give a useful sense of the relative rainfall amounts represented by the monthly means, but do not tell you how often rain falls or guarantee dry conditions in the lower-rainfall months.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine is greatest in June, at 11.87 hours/day, and least in December, at 9.19 hours/day. Across calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 10.61 hours/day. These figures can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and monthly averages do not guarantee the conditions on a particular day.
Best Travel Time Guide for Laayoune, Morocco: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, June / July is a conditional option: its mean daily rainfall is 0.01 mm/day. That average does not guarantee rain-free days or show how frequently rain occurs, so keep plans flexible rather than treating it as a promise of dry weather. If cooler monthly mean temperatures are your priority, consider January, when the monthly mean is 16.3 °C; this is not a daytime high and does not describe every day's temperature. For rain preparation, note that the highest mean daily rainfall occurs in October, at 0.31 mm/day, and plan for the possibility of rain rather than assuming it will occur every day.
For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level in June, at 11.87 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 9.19 hours/day. These averages can inform broad planning, but sunshine duration is not day length and does not assure clear skies on a particular visit; the sunshine and temperature criteria may also point to different months.
