Comfortable for exploring, cool when the sun goes

March is a sensible choice if you prefer being outdoors without strong heat. The warmer days reach 20.6°C or more, which can feel pleasant for sitting outside, but that is not the everyday expectation. Pack light layers that you can remove during the afternoon, plus a jacket for evenings. The colder nights drop to 8.6°C or below, so do not rely on summer clothing alone. Plan relaxed outdoor time around the warmer part of the day rather than assuming breakfast and dinner will be comfortable outside. If dependable warmth is the main reason for travelling, March is a compromise.

Useful sunshine, with room for rain

With about 7 hours of sunshine across 11.7 hours of daylight, March gives you a useful window for outdoor plans. That does not mean uninterrupted blue skies, so keep your schedule flexible rather than making every day depend on sunshine. There are about 4 rainy days during the month, enough to justify a light waterproof without making rain the main concern when deciding to go. Keep an indoor alternative in mind and use the brighter spells for longer walks or sitting outdoors. Sunglasses belong in your bag, but so does an extra layer for when the sunshine gives way to cloud.

The sea is the main catch

The sea temperature makes March a poor fit for travellers who want swimming to be a daily pleasure. At 14.6°C, the water is cold, not merely refreshing, and a warmer afternoon does not turn it into comfortable bathing water. You can still enjoy time beside the sea, but it is better to plan around walking and taking breaks in the sunshine than spending long periods in the water. If swimming matters more than mild conditions on land, March is difficult to recommend. Bring swimwear if you wish, but do not make a satisfying trip depend on using it.
