Hot days, with some noticeably hotter spells

The average high makes March sound comfortably hot, but allow for days that feel more demanding: 42% reach 30°C, and the hottest days can go well beyond that. Plan anything energetic for the cooler parts of the day rather than treating midday as walking weather. Loose, light clothing, a hat and easy access to drinking water are sensible priorities. Average humidity is 58%, so this is not just a question of the temperature on its own. March suits travellers who actively want heat; if you prefer mild conditions for being on your feet all day, it may feel too warm.

Dry weather makes outdoor plans straightforward

Rain is unlikely to dictate your plans in March, with about 0 rainy days in a typical month. That makes this a practical choice if you would rather not build your holiday around showers, though it is not a promise that rain cannot happen. There are about 8.7 hours of sunshine within 11.9 hours of daylight, leaving plenty of scope for time outdoors without needing to stay in direct sun throughout the day. Pack sun protection and make shade part of the routine. The catch is that reliably dry weather does not remove the need to pace yourself in the heat.

Swimmable sea and milder evenings

The sea averages 22.6°C, which is suitable for swimming but may feel fresh when you first get in, especially after sitting in the heat. Conditions vary between years, with March sea temperatures ranging from 21°C to 24°C, so do not expect consistently bath-warm water. Evenings bring a useful drop in temperature, with average night lows of 20.7°C. Light clothes should cover much of your stay, but a light layer is sensible if you tend to feel cool after dark. This balance works well for travellers who want hot afternoons without the same level of heat continuing through the night.
