March signals the onset of spring in Taiwan. In the northern part of the island, including Taipei, temperatures begin to rise, typically ranging from 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F). Rainfall increases slightly as the plum rain season begins, characterized by a long duration of drizzle that can last several days. The average monthly precipitation in the north is approximately 180mm (7.09"). The number of overcast days starts to decrease, and the duration of sunshine gradually extends.

In contrast, the central and southern parts of Taiwan experience temperatures from 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F), maintaining their trend of being warmer than the north. Kaohsiung and Tainan, for instance, often see temperatures reaching 30°C (86°F).
