What's the Weather like in Casablanca in April
April is a time for change in Casablanca. At the beginning of the month, the weather can be somewhat unpredictable, following on from the first month of spring in March. However, as the month progresses, the sun comes out, the rain dries up and Casablanca is an altogether more pleasant place to be.
Average Sunshine Hours
Unlike the 5 hours of daily sunshine in March, April enjoys up to 10 hours of daily sunshine in Casablanca, mainly due to the reduction of cloud cover that occurs.
Average Sea Temperature
However with this change in climate, also comes a reduction in the swell, which means even novice surfers are able to get out on the water and enjoy themselves. Average sea temperatures of 18°C are definitely inviting. But still the strength of the tides makes it much safer to do any serious swimming in the pools in the local hotels and beach clubs. While the sea is usually the place for a quick, refreshing dip while you enjoy the sun.
Temperature
With average peak temperatures of 20°C, it is possible to enjoy some lovely warm weather at this time of the year. But when the sun goes down, you will need an extra layer or a light jacket, especially if you want to take advantage of the varied range of night life across the city.
Minimum temperatures can fall as low as 11°C. And while this is far warmer than Northern Europe at this time of the year, it is still a degree or two lower than neighbouring areas such as Marrakesh.
Rainfall
As the month progresses, the level of rainfall improves on an almost daily basis. And while 7 days of the month are likely to produce up to 40mm of precipitation in total, most rain will fall very quickly and is highly unlikely to spoil a whole day.
The warmer weather and added moisture encourages vegetation and wildlife to come through in April providing a new breath of life across the city.

Bars and Restaurants
The Black Horse
The Black House is the nightclub within the Hyatt hotel, but you don't have to be a guest to enjoy their hospitality. A separate street entrance for non-residents does levy a small charge, but it is definitely worth a trip. Open from midnight, this very welcoming nightclub is a great place to meet new friends or just enjoy the outstanding video display. It is always busy, no matter what time of the year it is, and in April there's always someone new to meet. Enjoy the music, the freshly blended drinks and the lively atmosphere. For those that want a good night out, the Black House is always a wise choice.
Paris Paris Live Club
For live entertainment, Paris style, take a trip to Paris Paris Live Club in Casablanca. The atmosphere is fun, lively and highly sophisticated. And with a variety of theme nights and special events, there is always something new to see. The food is good, the wine list is very extensive. And the service is second to none. The décor is tres chic and the prices reflect this. But for a special occasion and some delicious cocktails, a trip to Paris Paris is an experience that will make you say 'ooh la la!'
Iloli
For true Japanese gastronomy book a table at Iloli in rue Najib Mahfoud. Rather than the traditional mass produced sushi, every dish is crafted to order by the reputable Japanese-trained chef. And the results are incredible. Deep flavours, innovative designs, and exceptional service will always have you coming back for more. For those that have not sampled genuine Japanese sushi before each table comes with a 'passport' that will guide you round your entire dining experience. But for those that have some experience, Iloli is still sure to impress. Just make sure you leave some room after your meal. Though the sushi is outstanding, you wouldn't want to miss out on dessert.
Things to do in Casablanca in April
Square of Mohammed V
Though the Square of Mohammed V can get very busy in the peak summer months, in April the atmosphere is still relatively calm. Packed with local vendors, foreign tourists and surrounded by beautiful buildings, it is a wonderful place to go, just to soak up the atmosphere. Take a seat in one of the many cafés and watch the men play boules and the children run around the fountain. Or visit at night for a truly authentic touch of Moroccan culture. With the metro station directly in front, the Square of Mohammed V is easy to get to, and very easy to enjoy.
Camel Tours
It is impossible to visit any part of Morocco without having a camel experience and Casablanca is no different. With a wealth of different camel tours available, such as Morocco Camel Trips, you can trek along the beach for a few minutes or take a week long excursion into the dessert. The choice is up to you. Professional tours will usually pick you up from your accommodation and take you to these desert ships, wherever you have chosen to visit. And with so many more miles covered on these beautiful animals than would ever be possible by foot, it is a wonderful way to see more of the region and enjoy a totally unique experience as you do.
