Weather in Sevilla in March

Prime time. March is about as good as Sevilla gets. Highs average 20.5 °C, lows 8.1 °C, and rain falls on 8 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

March is the highest-scoring month of the twelve. The nearest rival is April, and the month at the other end of the year is August.

Rain on 8 days, 2 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Nothing specialised needed — this is the month you pack for the trip rather than for the weather.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: it never really gets hot: not one day in an average March reaches 30 °C. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest March day reached 32.1 °C and the coldest night fell to -0.9 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 28 mm — roughly 48% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. March rainfall has ranged from 11 mm to 174 mm across the twenty years measured — a 163 mm spread around an average of 58 mm. The average is real but almost no individual March looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 9.4 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: 2.8 °C warmer than February, and April adds another 3 °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 1.2 hours across the month. That is between Sevilla's extremes of 14.7 and 9.6 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 33 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

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

March in Sevilla versus nearby

If Sevilla is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Málaga is the weaker option in March — 3.5 °C cooler, 1 day more rain. Faro is the weaker option in March — 3.3 °C cooler, 1 day more rain.

So: March is the answer for Sevilla. If it is booked out or priced out, April is the next best thing at 0 points behind, and August is the month to keep off the shortlist.
