Figures are nine-year averages for 2017 to 2025 at the summit. Toubkal has no permanent weather station, so these are reanalysis data modelled at 31.04°N / 7.90°W, 4,131 m. They are orders of magnitude rather than readings, and a given day can depart from them sharply — particularly the wind on the ridges. Always check a current forecast and speak to a local guide before setting out.
