Where to go in March

March weather at a glance, starting with the beach: where the sea is still warm, the sky is clear and the rain has stopped. Every figure is a long-term monthly average from ERA5 climate data, the same numbers you can explore on the Leidora climate map.

Beach weather

Where the sea is warm in March

Ranked by Leidora's beach score, the one the map shows: sea temperature 35%, afternoon air 30%, rain 20%, clear sky 15%. One weak part pulls the whole score down, so a hot, sunny coast with a cold sea does not make the list. Only places rated Good (60+) or better are shown, at most two per country: the world's best 15 under All, and up to 10 for each continent. Day is the afternoon high at the shore: the grid's daily maximum runs 1–3 °C cool on the coast, as 151 weather stations measured, so it is corrected as the score corrects it.
