 The average temperature is 14C - 19C in March.
South of the Atlas can and will reach 50 C but bone dry in Extreme Summer. Riding in this heat without drinking can lead to falling off the bike within one hour. A 3 litre Camelbac is essential with a rate of consumption of 1 1/2 hours. You'll not sweat in this heat as the moisture vanishes straight to the air.
Use a water soaked cotton neck wrap to cool by evaporation. You'll need to replace lost salts too. Don't forget to cover the back of the neck from sunburn too and get Cat 4 sunglasses, for glaciers and deserts.
The coast and high atlas will be a lot less hot than south of the Atlas. In the extreme heat, get up before sun up and get out of the sun and off the road before the heat really builds up. A later evening ride is possible too.
