Hi,
I've done the Atlantic route twice. Both times Morroco was quite cool, even cold, until I got south of the ATlas mountians. (Crossing the Atlas we even had snow for a day!)
Southern Morocco (Western Sahara) was very humid and foggy at night and morning, but quite nice by day. But still used wintergloves!
In Mauretania the first time it was hot, dry and sunny (and 25-30 degrees celcius). I used over 10 liter water a day and even by night it was nice temperature.
The second time it was very windy and clouded almost all the time. Didn't have to drink more water then any other day and the temperature wasnt higher then about 15 degrees celcius at midday and freezing at night.
So be prepared for everything. Extra clothing isnt that heavy and you can always make somebody happy with it later in West Africa when you really dont need it anymore.
