What to expect
Daytime
Mild afternoons in Marrakech are the prize in March. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.

Rain
March is the wet side of the year in Marrakech. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.
This is not a reason to skip Marrakech if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.
