What's the Weather like in Casablanca in June
Average Sunshine Hours
June is the brightest time to visit Casablanca. With more daily sunshine hours than any other month of the year, it seems the sun is always out. But for those that are concerned about peak summer temperatures, June is still relatively mild.
Temperature
An average of 12 hours of daily sunshine are forecast every day of the month in June, all with average peak temperatures reaching up to 23°C. However this is still approximately three degrees lower than the average highs over the next three months, which will usually near closer to 26°C.
Average Sea Temperature
While the air is warm, the sea is truly inviting, offering average water temperatures of 21°C. Although a lot of swimmers will choose to spend their time in the many pools in the city, rather than braving the strong tides in the sea.
Rainfall
And as the summer starts, rain becomes almost non-existent in Casablanca. It is forecasted that there could be some rain on just 1 day in June, which could see up to 10mm of rain falling. But it is very likely that there will be no rain at all seen in the city from now until well into September.
Thanks to the dry weather conditions, as the temperatures do rise, humidity conditions stay very comfortable. And while night time temperatures averaging 17°C mean that air conditioning is advisable, the air never gets as sticky as it does in neighbouring areas.
However it is wise to be vigilant when it comes to the June sun in Casablanca. Though the city will protect you from some of the heat, temperatures reached up to 39°C in June 2011 which means sun protection and suitable water supplies are always vital.
But for those that want some early summer sun with a forecast of consistently good weather, the climate in Casablanca in June makes this part of Morocco very inviting.

Beaches in Casablanca for June
Plage Madame Choual
Plage Madame Choual is a popular beach with the youth set in Casablanca. Boasting a full stretch of golden sand, this beach is actually attached to the main beach of Ain Diab but it is still considered a beach in its own right. The area is surrounded by a wealth of amenities and restaurants, some of which will let you take your food right on to the sand. And with local bus stops and taxis ranks straight outside, even if you are based over the other side of the city, Plage Madame Choual is only a short ride away.
Sidi Bouzid Beach
Located south along the coastline from Casablanca, Sidi Bouzid Beach in El Jadida offers miles of beautiful golden sand for residents and tourists to enjoy. Surprisingly, even in June, there are more residents than tourists on the beach. But that just adds to the lure of this hotspot. The sand is well maintained, which means very little rubbish, and the waters are beautifully clear. There are many facilities from the beach including surfing, sailing and even horseback riding. The water is safer than many other neighbouring areas. And with life guards on duty during peak times, everyone can enjoy a good swim.
Things to do in Casablanca in June
Old Medina
The Old Medina should be one of the focal points of any visit to Casablanca. Though previously destroyed by fire, the Medina has now been fully restored, offering a wonderful place to enjoy Moroccan life. Take a tour around the many vendors that are always present day and night. But make sure you don't take their first price - haggling is the only way to ensure you get a bargain. Or sit in one of the many cafés and watch the world go by. Take a tour around the building, or simply soak up the sun. With time on your hands in Casablanca, the Medina is the place to go.
Hammam Istanbul
When your skin needs a bit of pampering after all the heat of the June sun, book an appointment at the Hammam Istanbul. Step inside the spa and the feeling of relaxation and tranquillity mixes with the smell of the many herbs used in their wonderful potions. Enjoy Moroccan tea in the meditation room before partaking in one of their highly specialised treatments.
