| Climate and Weather |
Morocco is dominated by the Mediterranean climate as rainfall occurs within the cool season, while the warm season is dry. However, owing to its latitudinal location the climatic conditions are quite diverse. In fact, this diversity made it ideally suited for the bioclimatic classification of the Mediterranean. Extreme temperatures are attenuated in the coastal areas along the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean sea, translating into bioclimate sub-types of warm and temperate winters. |
