The dataset includes hourly air temperature and relative humidity data from Sidi Chamharouch (31.09763ºN, 7.91291º W) at 2370 m a.s.l. in the Oued Ihghyghaye valley (High Atlas, Morocco) from 16 June 2015 to 16 July 2016. The data was collected using a Hobo ProV2 datalogger installed inside a radiation shield at ci. 2 m height. The device was installed next to Hsin Nsliman Cafe, whom provided surveillance. This research benefited from support of the bilateral project COLDATLAS – “Does permafrost occur in the high mountains of North Africa?” funded by the FCT/CNRST (Portugal–Morocco), with partial funding from the CEG/IGOT – Universidade de Lisboa.
