Agadir Weather Overview: May

May represents one of Agadir's golden secret seasons. With virtually zero rainfall (less than 3mm) and over 10 hours of daily sunshine, early summer arrives in full force without the heavy summer tourist crowds. Daytime highs hover at a comfortable 25°C–27°C, while cool ocean breezes from the Canary Current keep the air fresh. Ocean temperatures rise toward 18°C, and unheated hotel pools become delightfully warm under prolonged sun exposure.
