# Marrakech in January: Weather and Staying Online

> Marrakech in January: 20 °C days, 5 °C nights, 3.7 rainy days. Ten-year averages, what to pack and how to stay online in a cold riad.

Published: 2026-11-01

The short answer

**January in Marrakech means sunny days around 20 °C, cold nights near 5 °C and about 3.7 rainy days.** That makes it a good month for a winter stay or a working trip, with one catch: riads get cold, so you spend more time in your room, where WiFi is often weakest. A pocket WiFi keeps your own connection beside you.

Figures are ten-year averages for Marrakech (2015 to 2024). This guide covers the weather, what to pack and how to stay online during a January trip.

## What January means for your connection

- **More time indoors.** Evenings are cold, so everyone is on riad WiFi at the same time.

- **Thick walls.** Rooms around a courtyard are often where WiFi is weakest, as we explain in our guide to [riad WiFi](https://pocketwifimorocco.com/riad-wifi-marrakech/).

- **Day trips.** Clear days suit the Atlas, where signal is patchy.

- **Working stays.** Morocco is on GMT: the same time as London in winter, and one hour behind Paris.
