Steady warmth, with little relief at night

Expect warmth that lasts into the evening, rather than hot afternoons followed by a cool-down. March is not among Grenada's hottest months, but humidity of 76% can make the air feel close, so the temperature alone does not tell the whole story. Loose, breathable clothing makes more sense than heavy layers, and air conditioning is worth prioritising if warm bedrooms bother you. Keep more active plans away from midday and leave room for shade breaks. Compared with London's March daytime high of 10.5°C, this is a substantial change of climate. It suits travellers who want consistent warmth better than those hoping for crisp evenings or mild walking weather.

Useful sunshine, but leave plans flexible

March brings about 6.7 hours of sunshine within 11.9 hours of daylight, so there is useful time outdoors without a promise of clear skies throughout the day. About 8 rainy days means rain belongs in your plans, even in a month that scores well overall. Keep a light waterproof handy and avoid making every outdoor activity depend on an entirely dry day. The rainy-day figure does not tell you how long each wet spell lasts, so it is better to stay flexible than assume rain will always pass quickly. Sun protection still matters, and a mix of swimming, shaded breaks and unhurried outdoor time is a sensible approach.
