Your March weather guide
WarmWeather in Agadir in March
March is a good time to visit Agadir for warm afternoons rather than a reliably hot beach holiday. Daytime highs average around 24°C, but nights fall to 13°C and the sea is cold at about 17°C. For a UK traveller, the appeal is comfortable daytime warmth without needing peak summer heat. The catch is that evenings need layers, some rain is possible, and a warm afternoon does not mean comfortable swimming.

It is a reasonable choice: warm days. The best months for Agadir on our scoring are July, June, May; months averaging 25°C or more: May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct.
Warm afternoons, cooler evenings
Pack light clothes for the daytime, but leave room for a jumper or light jacket after sunset. The average high makes March well suited to spending time outdoors without planning everything around intense heat. There can still be hotter spells: 35% of days reach 25°C, while 9% reach 30°C. On those warmer days, keep more active plans away from midday and take shade breaks. At the other end, the coldest nights can fall to around 11°C or below, so summer-only packing would be a mistake. Sunscreen, sunglasses and an evening layer are a more useful combination than expecting consistently hot weather.
Plenty of sunshine, but a cold sea
March brings about 7.9 hours of sunshine within 11.8 hours of daylight, giving you scope for outdoor plans without assuming every day will be clear. There are about 4 rainy days, so keep plans flexible and pack a light waterproof rather than treating rain as impossible. The bigger limitation for a beach-focused trip is the sea: it remains cold even when the air feels warm. Sitting by the water may appeal much more than getting into it. If comfortable sea swimming is central to your holiday, March is a poor fit; if you mainly want daylight, warmth and time outside, the balance is more favourable.
