In the capital city of Dhaka and the coastal city of Chittagong, temperatures also rise. Dhaka sees average highs of 33°C (91.4°F) and lows of about 20°C (68°F).

March witnesses a slight increase in rainfall compared to the preceding months, with an average precipitation of about 40mm (1.57"). This rise in precipitation is an indication of the impending pre-monsoon season, which starts in April.

Despite the increase in temperatures, March offers relatively comfortable weather compared to the upcoming summer months. It is the month when the countryside bursts into a riot of colors, courtesy of the blooming flowers and trees, enhancing the scenic beauty of Bangladesh. As such, it can be a delightful time for visitors who wish to enjoy the country's natural beauty before the onset of the hot and humid pre-monsoon season.
