August should be no problem. In '06 I did a loop down along the Atlantic coast, inland to Marrakech, north through Fes and the Rif Mts back to the Mediterranean coast and Ceuta. Lovely weather all about, nice and toasty 41C in Marrakech but that just added to the pleasure, not detract.In the mountains it was super ideal ,sunny,dry mild to warm.And this was supposedly the hottests part of the year- sure beats chilly cold winter-like weather. The whole trip I was constantly struck by its landscape and climate similarity to Mexico .Also, my michelin map showed lots of mountain passes which could have snow during much of te winter, to be avoided if at all possible.And avoid the sanctimonious season, why should you suffer because of other folks' habits.
