Your March weather guide
WarmWeather in Seville in March
March is a good time for Seville if you want warm afternoons rather than dependable heat. Average daytime highs are around 20°C, but nights fall to about 9°C, so this is still a layers-and-jacket trip. About 6 rainy days mean you should leave some flexibility in your plans. For a UK traveller, the appeal is comfortable weather for spending time outdoors; the catch is that evenings and wet spells can feel quite different.

Warm afternoons, cool starts and evenings
Plan to dress for a change in temperature rather than for continuous warmth. A light top may be enough during a sunny afternoon, while a jumper and jacket will be useful early and late in the day. The warmer days can reach 25°C, so removable layers make more sense than a heavy outfit you cannot adjust. At the cooler end, nights can fall to around 6°C or below, making a late return outdoors noticeably chilly. March suits travellers who prefer walking without persistent heat. If your priority is sitting outside late into the evening in light clothing, the average night temperature is the main reason to reconsider.
Useful sunshine, with room for rain
March brings about 6.4 hours of sunshine a day, giving you a reasonable prospect of bright weather without promising uninterrupted sun. With about 6 rainy days, it makes sense to pack a light waterproof and keep outdoor plans movable rather than commit everything to a fixed schedule. Use brighter spells for longer walks and leave room to take a break indoors when rain arrives. The rainfall average does not tell you how a particular stay will unfold, so treat dry weather as a possibility rather than a guarantee. This balance suits a flexible city break better than a trip whose success depends entirely on sunshine.
