Weather in Casablanca in March

Prime time. If you get to pick your dates, March is the one. Highs average 21.3 °C, lows 12.3 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

Casablanca barely has seasons. March scores 83 out of 100 against a best of 93 in June — a gap small enough that the month you choose matters far less here than the week you choose.

Rain on 9 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average March reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest March day reached 35.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 6.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 44 mm — roughly 81% of the month's rain in one day.

March is moderately variable: 9 mm in the driest year against 160 mm in the wettest, around an average of 54 mm. Roughly two Marchs in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 10.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 75%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How March sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 19.2 °C in February, 21.3 here, 22.8 in April. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much.

Daylight in March

11.9 hours of daylight, gaining 1 hours across the month. That is between Casablanca's extremes of 14.4 and 9.9 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 17 °C in March — cold — a quick dip rather than a swim, and a wetsuit if you are in for longer. The sea peaks at 23.5 °C in August and bottoms out at 16.9 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Quiet. Few other visitors, cheaper rooms, and a real chance some seasonal operators are shut.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

March in Casablanca versus nearby

If Casablanca is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Marrakesh is close enough to be a coin toss — 3.7 °C warmer, 3 days less rain. Fes is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, 1 day more rain.

So: March works, with June the better month by 10 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
