March weather forecast
Greenland

As Greenland transitions from the depths of winter towards spring, March brings about a noticeable change in the country's weather patterns. Throughout the month, the average temperatures continue their slow but steady ascent, typically ranging between -8°C (17.6°F) and -5°C (23°F) in coastal regions. However, inland areas with their ice cap climate continue to experience intense cold, often dipping below -20°C (-4°F).

In Greenland's capital, Nuuk, March is characterized by gradually increasing temperatures and a steady gain in daylight hours. The sun shines for longer periods, the days grow noticeably longer, and temperatures begin to flirt with the freezing point, especially towards the end of the month.

Further north in Ilulissat, daylight makes a robust return in March, a welcome change after the extended Polar Night of the preceding months. While temperatures remain deeply cold, averaging -10°C (14°F), the expanding daylight hours indicate the imminent arrival of spring.

Compared to February, March in Greenland presents slightly milder temperatures and considerably longer days. The country's landscapes begin to transform as the increased sunlight triggers the onset of the melt season. However, March still contrasts significantly with April, the next month, where the full force of spring starts to reshape the environment, and temperatures rise more noticeably. Despite the cold, March's increasing daylight and the lingering snow cover make it an ideal time for outdoor activities such as dog sledding and skiing.
