Weather in Lárisa in March

A good month. March works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 16.7 °C, lows 5.8 °C, and rain falls on 9 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

March ranks 6 of 12 in Lárisa: past the worst of the year but short of April, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 9 days, 1 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 16.7 °C days and 5.8 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

The averages here are honest — no hidden extremes worth planning around. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest March day reached 31.4 °C and the coldest night fell to -3.7 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 48 mm — roughly 96% of the month's rain in one day.

March is moderately variable: 16 mm in the driest year against 138 mm in the wettest, around an average of 50 mm. Roughly two Marchs in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 74%.

How March sits in the year

The month is on the way up: 3.7 °C warmer than February, and April adds another 4.4 °C. Late in the month feels noticeably different from the start of it, which is worth knowing if the trip is short.

Daylight in March

11.9 hours of daylight, gaining 1.3 hours across the month. That is between Lárisa's extremes of 15 and 9.4 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 32.7 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

March in Lárisa versus nearby

If Lárisa is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Volos is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.3 °C cooler, the same number of rain days. Thessaloníki is close enough to be a coin toss — 2.5 °C cooler, the same number of rain days.

So: March works, with April the better month by 15 points if the dates can move. If they cannot, nothing here should stop you booking.
