Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at the old town (Id Kah), 11 km from the airport (KHG): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

July: busy. Busiest in July, August and October; quietest from January to March.

What to pack

  • Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 34°C.
  • Plan the middle of the day indoors: 14 days a month pass 35°C.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
