March weather forecast
Burundi

In Burundi, March signifies the continuation of the long rainy season, with even more precipitation than February. Rainfall levels continue to increase, typically reaching between 150mm (5.91") and 180mm (7.09"). This makes March one of the wettest months in Burundi. The increase in rainfall leads to the flourishing of the country's vegetation, especially in areas such as the Ruvubu National Park and the verdant landscapes around Lake Tanganyika.

Temperature averages remain between 20°C (68°F) and 23°C (73.4°F), but the increased rainfall can lead to slightly cooler conditions, particularly in higher-altitude areas. For example, in the city of Gitega, located in the central plateau region, the temperature can decrease to 17°C (62.6°F) during the wettest periods.

Compared to the previous month, March sees a continuation of the wet weather pattern, with increased rainfall and cloud cover. While the weather remains relatively warm, the humidity level rises due to the higher levels of precipitation.

In the lower-altitude regions near Lake Tanganyika, including the city of Bujumbura, temperatures are consistently warmer, usually ranging from 23°C (73.4°F) to 26°C (78.8°F). Despite being warmer, these regions also see significant rainfall during March.

As the month progresses, the increased precipitation signals the approach of the peak of the rainy season, which occurs in April. This increase in rainfall becomes more pronounced towards the end of the month, indicating the wettest period of the year in the coming month.
