Regular rain showers persist, though they begin to decrease in frequency and intensity as the month progresses. The sky tends to be cloudy, but instances of clear sky start to increase towards the end of the month.

When compared to February, March typically brings a reduction in rainfall. The temperature, however, does not vary significantly from the previous month or the forthcoming month of April, reflecting the tropical monsoon climate of the island. The duration of daylight remains relatively constant, with sunrise occurring around 6:30 AM and sunset close to 6:30 PM.

March is the transition month towards the dry season, and wildlife activity continues to be high.

However, just as in the previous months, plans may require some flexibility to accommodate possible rainfall.
