March weather forecast
Estonia

March signals the advent of spring in Estonia, although winter conditions often persist for the early part of the month. Average temperatures during this time can range from 0.5°C (32.9°F) on the Baltic islands to -2°C (28.4°F) in the inland areas. This represents a moderate increase from the colder temperatures of February and forecasts the warming trend that is set to continue into April.

In Tallinn, the capital city located along the Baltic Sea, average temperatures for March range from 0.2°C (32.4°F) to -3°C (26.6°F). This represents a significant warming trend from the previous months, marking the onset of the thaw from winter's grip. As the sea ice continues to melt, the warming influence of the Baltic Sea on Tallinn's climate becomes more pronounced.

Inland, the city of Tartu experiences average temperatures from -0.5°C (31.1°F) to -4°C (24.8°F) in March. The climate here is slightly colder due to Tartu's distance from the moderating influence of the Baltic Sea. However, a noticeable warming trend can be observed in Tartu as well, hinting at the approaching spring.

As the month progresses, the snow cover that has blanketed the country during the winter months starts to recede, and by the end of the month, snowfall is typically minimal. However, the melting snow and warmer temperatures lead to an increase in precipitation, with the country receiving an average rainfall of about 30mm (1.18") to 35mm (1.38") in March.

Daylight hours continue to increase in March, with the country gaining approximately 3.5 hours of daylight over the course of the month compared to February. By the end of March, daylight hours can extend to nearly 14 hours per day, which is a considerable change from the short days of the winter season. This increase in daylight, combined with the warming temperatures and melting snow, marks the transition from winter to spring in Estonia.
