March weather forecast
Micronesia

As the Micronesian calendar transitions from the 'winter' season towards the onset of the wetter period of the year, March represents a shift in weather patterns. This month generally marks the beginning of a gradual increase in both temperature and rainfall across the country.

Temperatures in March start to rise compared to the preceding months. The average temperatures range from 25°C (77°F) to 28°C (82.4°F). In Pohnpei and Kosrae, the larger islands, temperatures begin to climb, signaling the start of a warmer period. Similarly, the northern outer islands also witness a gradual increase in temperatures, but the overall climate remains comfortable due to the coastal influence.

Rainfall during March increases compared to February, signaling the onset of the wetter period of the year. On average, Micronesia experiences between 200mm (7.87") to 250mm (9.84") of rainfall during this month. Pohnpei, due to its geographical factors, continues to receive more rainfall than other areas of the country.

Compared to February, March sees a gradual increase in both temperatures and precipitation. This shift is more noticeable as the month progresses and acts as a precursor to the wetter and hotter months that follow. Despite the rise in rainfall, it remains a suitable period to visit as severe weather conditions associated with the typhoon season are still months away.
