The short answer

**December in Marrakech means sunny days around 21 °C, cool nights near 7 °C and about 4 rainy days.** It is also the month with the shortest days: the sun sets at about 17:30. Long evenings put everyone in the riad on the same WiFi at once, and a pocket WiFi keeps your own connection beside you.

Figures are ten-year averages for Marrakech (2015 to 2024). This guide covers the weather, the short days, what to pack and how to stay online during a December trip.

## Short days, long evenings

In Marrakech the sun rises at about 07:13 on 1 December and 07:31 on 31 December. It sets at 17:28 at the start of the month and 17:39 at the end, so you get about ten hours of daylight. Morocco has been on GMT all year since 20 September 2026: the same time as London, and one hour behind Paris.

Plan day trips to the Atlas or Essaouira for an early start, so you drive back before dark. Our guide to [day trips from Marrakech](https://pocketwifimorocco.com/marrakech-day-trips-signal/) shows where the signal drops on the way.

## What December means for your connection

- **Evenings indoors.** Night falls early and it gets cool, so everyone is back in the riad and on the same WiFi at the same time.

- **Thick walls.** Rooms around a courtyard are often where WiFi is weakest, as we explain in our guide to [riad WiFi](https://pocketwifimorocco.com/riad-wifi-marrakech/).

- **Holiday weeks.** Christmas and New Year are the busiest part of the month. Our [Christmas and New Year guide](https://pocketwifimorocco.com/christmas-and-new-year-in-marrakech-staying-connected-2026-2027/) covers those dates.

- **Calls home.** With family video calls on 25 and 31 December, a connection you control is worth having.
