March weather forecast
Greece

March heralds the onset of spring in Greece, offering a refreshing change from the wintry grip of the preceding months. The southern islands and coastal regions witness a noticeable upswing in temperatures, making the environment pleasantly mild. Yet, it's not unusual for sporadic rainfall to grace these areas, adding to the vitality of spring's bloom.

The northern territories, while shaking off the remnants of winter, present a mix of conditions. The earlier parts of March may still witness residual snowfall, particularly in elevated regions, but this tapers off as the month progresses. Areas like Florina, which faced the brunt of winter's chill, now start experiencing milder days, though nights can still be brisk.

Central Greece, transitioning from the occasional intense cold of the previous months, welcomes March with a more temperate climate. The influence of Siberian air masses diminishes, allowing for more moderate temperatures and clearer skies.

The average daily high temperatures in much of the country are between 11.7°C (53.1°F) to 16.7°C (62.1°F), and the nights are mostly above freezing.

March also brings about a noticeable extension in daylight hours, casting longer and warmer sunlit periods over Greece. The landscape begins to transform, with flora starting to flourish and the bare trees sprouting fresh leaves. As the month draws to an end and April approaches, Greece's weather moves decidedly towards a warmer and sunnier disposition, marking a more pronounced shift into the heart of spring.
