'Merklich' (noticeable) comes directly from the verb 'merken' (to notice, to perceive). The ending '-lich' means '-able', so something is 'merklich' when it can be noticed.
Hast du gemerkt, dass es kälter geworden ist?
Did you notice that it has gotten colder?
'Merklich' (noticeable/noticeably) can stand before a noun as an adjective or describe a verb or another adjective as an adverb. As an adverb, its form remains unchanged.

'Merklich' (noticeable/noticeably) is often used to describe a change or a state. Typical combinations are 'ein merklicher Unterschied' (a noticeable difference), 'eine merkliche Besserung' (a noticeable improvement), or 'merklich kälter/leiser/besser werden' (to become noticeably colder/quieter/better).

clear / clearly
'deutlich' and 'merklich' both describe that something is clearly perceptible. However, 'deutlich' is broader: you can speak clearly, see clear handwriting, or recognize a clear difference. 'merklich' is used more when you notice a change or effect, for example in temperature, mood, or performance. Learners may confuse the words because both often mean 'perceptible' or 'visible'. As a simple guide: 'deutlich' fits clear perception and clear statements, while 'merklich' fits especially noticeable changes.
