(I didn't read all the replays here.)
My old Ajungilak Igloo is OK.
The coldest I have experienced with it was -2c at night.
I was wearing two set of thin wool underwear and socks, and I had a wool blanket inside the sleepingbag too.
My matress was the tick type filled with air - not the best for cold nights, but I had two camping type matresses too.
I had my riding jacket on top of the sleepingbag (outside it!) and an old & bad sleepingbag outside my Ajungilak Igloo, pulled up to my hip - not all the way as it is to thight, and there is important to have room for air between the layers.
You better not bring all this on a solobike for Nordkapp! I was riding my sidecar so I cold bring all I wanted to!
I suggest a sleeping bag about the same type as mine (I don't know what temperature it is recommended for from Ajungilak) and thin & soft wool underwear, and a good matress for cold nights. And wool on your toes and head at night, if it is cold - put it on BEFORE you find it cold!
If my type of sleepingbag is way to hot for you in Marocco:
Buy a colder type, and a innerbag, made of fleece of wool - special for sleepinbags, and not cheap.
Or, do as I did, but it cost a lot:
Helsport Tempelfjorden. (You'll find it here, if you point at the arrow down at the page http://www.helsport.no/helsport/pro...8&entrypage=true&guid=1&lnodeid=3&pageid=5006 ) = Tempelfjorden is two sleepingbags; one inside a bigger one! It is the type they are using in Antartctis - and I'm going to use it at Primustreffet (http://www.otc-mc.org/~197/primus_2003/ some old pictures from the meeting ) in February. You can use one of the parts in summer, and both together in winter - super! But it ain't free...
There are small bags filled with something that react on air, to put inside socks and gloves, to keep you warm. Just open the small bag, shake it, and it keep you warm for hours - then throw it away and buy one more.
Not cheap, but it helps - I had one in each sock at night inside my Ajungilak Igloo - nice&warm!
It is windy up there, so a good tent is important!
Or find a hut/hytte.
I hope I helped.

-Is it going to be cold at Nordkapp in June?
I can not tell you, but follow the link in reply number 7 in this thread: http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132995 you can figure out the odds as there is inforation about how cold/wet it was there last year and some years before that.
