What Meknes is like in October
If Meknes has a perfect month, October is the contender. Daytime highs around 26°C are warm without being heavy, the autumn light is soft and golden, and the evenings are mild and easy. The summer heat is gone, the surrounding plain is pleasant, and the imperial monuments — the Bab Mansour gate, the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum, the Heri es-Souani granaries and the medina — are at their most enjoyable for full days of unhurried sightseeing.

Meknes in October: your questions
Is October a good time to visit Meknes?
Yes — October may be the best month of all. Warm days around 26°C, soft golden light and departed summer heat make it ideal for the imperial monuments and the exposed Volubilis ruins, with only the first autumn fronts late in the month. Meknes stays calmer than Fes, so it is a relaxed top choice.
How hot is Meknes in October?
Meknes in October has daytime highs of around 26°C and night-time lows near 13°C. Days are warm and comfortable for full-day sightseeing, and evenings are mild early in the month, turning cooler later. It is one of the most balanced, agreeable months in the calendar.
Is it rainy in Meknes in October?
October is mostly dry and warm, with around 4 rainy days as the first autumn fronts arrive, mainly late in the month. Showers are brief and infrequent, so the exposed Volubilis ruins remain easy to plan. Keep a light rain layer for later in October.
