Heat in Morocco in Mid to Late September?

My husband and I are planning to go to Morocco (our first trip there) in September, after an event we're attending in Barcelona from Sept. 1st to 9th. We need to be back in the US by October 3rd. My concern is the weather and how hot it might be in Morocco. I know that July and August are the hottest months there. But we went to Istanbul a few years ago at the same time of year (thinking it wouldn't be as hot) and I was miserable; it was so hot most days! We are considering perhaps staying in Spain for at least a week more, and then going to Morocco toward the latter part of September instead. Of course, if we did that, we would see less places in Morocco because Oct. 3rd is a hard stop.

I would appreciate some opinions on what we should do. We are always prepared for the heat with linen clothing, hats, and good hydration and common sense. Nevertheless, I was just dying in Istanbul that September and I really don't want to repeat that experience. Thanks!

I see a monthly average in Marrakech (you didn't say where you will be going) of about 33 high, 19 low - about 91.4 F and 66 F.

Different parts of the country will differ, as will in the desert.

Too hot for me - you may vary. At least it is 4C cooler than August.

Barcelona in August would be too hot for me.
