Weather in March

March ushers in the onset of autumn in the Falkland Islands. A noticeable transition from the warmth of summer is evident as temperatures start to decline. During this month, the temperature spectrum typically spans from 9°C (48.2°F) to 20°C (68°F), marking a discernible shift from the peaks experienced in February.

Stanley, as the islands' primary city, provides a benchmark for the broader climatic behavior of the region. Its coastal position means that the sea exerts a moderating influence, ensuring that the transition into cooler temperatures is gradual and not abrupt. This maritime influence also means that sea breezes become more pronounced, especially in the late afternoons and evenings.

Compared to February's warmer embrace, March demonstrates the islands' movement toward their colder months. The duration of daylight starts to decrease more rapidly, hinting at the impending approach of winter.

Rainfall during March tends to be slightly higher than in February, averaging 40mm (1.57") over the course of the month. Although March doesn’t hold any record for extreme climatic values in the Falkland Islands, its transitionary nature - moving from summer warmth to autumnal coolness - offers a diverse weather experience.

Wind patterns in March are somewhat variable. While not as gusty as the peak windy seasons, the winds do start to pick up a bit, especially in coastal areas, providing a precursor to the more volatile conditions that the ensuing months might bring. This mix of gradually cooling temperatures, lengthening shadows, and variable winds makes March a distinctive and transformative month in the Falkland Islands.
