Aït Ourir's average annual maximum temperature is 24°C (75°F). To put that in context, here's how it compares to a few well-known destinations:
Barcelona, Spain has an annual average of around 21°C (70°F), with warm summers and mild, fairly short winters.
Queenstown, New Zealand averages 10°C (50°F) annually, remember seasons are flipped, so its coldest months fall in June and July.
Beijing, China averages 20°C (68°F) annually, but with big seasonal swings, very cold winters and hot summers.
Brisbane, Australia averages 26°C (79°F) a year, with warm winters and hot, humid summers.
Temperature alone doesn't tell the whole story, humidity plays a big role in how warm or cold it actually feels. High humidity in summer makes the heat feel more intense, particularly once temperatures climb above 25°C. In winter, the same humidity can make cold air feel sharper than the thermometer suggests.
In Aït Ourir, January is the coolest month, with average highs of 17°C (63°F) and humidity around 65%, considered high. In July, the warmest month, temperatures average 33°C (91°F) with 47% humidity, conditions that feel moderate. For a full picture, see our humidity page.
Climate temperature data is typically calculated as a 30-year average. This smooths out year-to-year variability and gives a more reliable picture of what a place is actually like, rather than what happened in any single unusual year.
The readings come from a range of sources, land-based weather stations, ocean buoys, ships, and satellites. That data is collected by weather services around the world, then pooled, quality-checked, and averaged to produce the climate records you see here.
Global average temperatures have risen by around 1.2°C since the pre-industrial era, and the effects are visible across many regions. Winters are milder on average, with fewer frost days and less snow in many parts of the world. Heatwaves are more frequent and more intense, and Europe's summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020 all set records.
Summers are also getting drier in some areas, while winter rainfall has increased in others. This contributies to higher river levels and more flooding. In many countries, spring arrives earlier and autumn lasts longer. It has knock-on effects for wildlife, agriculture, and local ecosystems.
