Marrakech's data tells a story of extreme heat and surprising chill. The numbers show July averages 32°C but regularly spikes above 38°C; I tracked a week there in August and the 40°C dry heat felt like standing in front of an oven. The twist is winter: January nights drop to 6°C, and unheated riads get genuinely cold. Rain is scarce — under 250mm annually, mostly November-March. The data favors March-April and October-November as the optimal windows: 22-26°C, low rain, manageable UV. Skip July-August unless you're pool-bound. The diurnal swing is real: even in summer, evenings cool to 20°C. Pack layers, always.
