Weather in March
March brings a gradual end to the long, cold winters of
Merimasku. The seawater temperature remains stagnant at -0.2°C (31.6°F), parallel to
February, still preserving winter’s icy allure. However, daylight hours progressively increase, hinting at the onset of spring. The anticipation of warmer times becomes more tangible with each passing day as February fades into memory. Consequently, March functions as a threshold, bridging the climatic extremes between winter and spring.
