Comfortable for being outdoors, but pack layers

March is Bermuda's coolest month, so think light layers rather than a suitcase built around beachwear. The average daytime high is 18.8°C, which makes time outdoors more appealing than in a typical London March, without the need to organise everything around midday heat. A light jumper or jacket is sensible for evenings: the average night low is 16.7°C, while the coldest nights can fall to 14°C or below. Even the warmer days are modest, with the warmest reaching 20.6°C or more. This suits travellers who prefer mild conditions, but it is a poor match if your holiday needs dependable warmth for sitting outside in swimwear.

Rain and a bracing sea are the main catches

Keep your plans flexible, because March is wet rather than reliably sunny. About 12 rainy days means waterproof outerwear deserves space in your luggage, though it does not mean every affected day will be a washout. There are about 4.1 hours of sunshine within 11.8 hours of daylight, so useful daylight should not be confused with uninterrupted sun. The sea averages 19.5°C and is best described as bracing. A quick dip may appeal if you tolerate cool water, but long, relaxed swims are less inviting. Treat beach time as something to fit around the conditions, rather than the foundation of the holiday.
