Weather in March

In the Faroe Islands, March serves as a transition period from the cold winter months into the beginnings of spring. Temperatures during March see a gradual rise from the previous months, typically fluctuating between 3°C (37.4°F) to 6°C (42.8°F). This marks the start of the islands' slow but steady shift towards milder weather conditions.

The amount of rainfall in March generally decreases compared to February, with precipitation ranging from 80mm (3.15") to 100mm (3.94"). Despite this reduction, the weather continues to vary greatly within a single day, and bouts of wind remain relatively common, with average speeds hovering between 15km/h (9.3mph) and 25km/h (15.5mph).

The capital city, Tórshavn, starts seeing slightly better weather conditions, mirroring the overall shift in climate across the islands. However, visitors and residents should still be prepared for sporadic rain showers and gusty winds.

Daylight hours increase significantly in March, with approximately 10 hours of light per day towards the end of the month. This change from the shorter winter days of February is a welcome sign of the forthcoming spring.

While the chances of viewing the Northern Lights start to diminish in March due to lengthening daylight hours, the potential for more outdoor exploration and witnessing the landscape as it begins to blossom into spring offers an appealing alternative. The weather transition from February to March introduces new opportunities to experience the beauty of the Faroe Islands in a different, brighter light.
