What Fes is like in May
May is warm, dry and dependable in Fes — the last fully comfortable month before the deep-summer heat sets in. Daytime highs reach around 28°C, the skies are reliably bright, and evenings are warm enough for long rooftop dinners without a jacket. The medina is busy but rewarding, and the early mornings and golden late afternoons are the sweet spots for the tanneries, the madrasas and the long downhill walk through the souks before the midday warmth builds.

Fes in May: your questions
Is May a good time to visit Fes?
Yes. May is warm, dry and reliable — the last fully comfortable month before summer's heat. Highs around 28°C, bright skies and warm evenings make it excellent for medina sightseeing and Middle Atlas trips. In some years the Sacred Music Festival adds a major draw, so book early if it overlaps your visit.
How warm is Fes in May?
Fes in May has daytime highs of around 28°C and night-time lows near 13°C. Days are warm and bright, best paced with shade and water through the midday peak, while evenings are pleasantly warm for outdoor dining. It is hot but still very manageable for full days exploring the medina.
Does it rain in Fes in May?
May is mostly dry and reliably sunny, with only around 3 rainy days and any showers tending to be brief. Rain is rarely a planning concern. You can explore the medina and take day trips to Volubilis, the cedar forests or the desert with high confidence in settled, warm weather.
