Weather in March

March signifies the transition from the dry season to the wet season in the Marshall Islands. While it is still part of the dry season, or "Rairok," it shows the initial signs of the impending "Aelan Eok" or wet season. Rainfall begins to increase during this month, with an average precipitation level rising to 200mm (7.87").

The average high temperature in March remains stable around 29°C (84.2°F), similar to the preceding months, while the average low is about 25°C (77°F). Despite the increase in rainfall, the northeast trade winds continue to blow, moderating the humidity and heat associated with the onset of the wet season.

Cities such as Majuro and Kwajalein continue to exhibit similar weather patterns, with the climate remaining predominantly warm and gradually becoming more humid. Majuro, being relatively sheltered, may experience slightly warmer conditions due to the reduced influence of the northeast trade winds.

Compared to February, March sees an increase in rainfall due to the approaching wet season, while the temperatures remain generally constant. As the country moves into April, rainfall levels continue to rise, and the wet season begins in earnest.

While March does not represent an extreme in terms of heat or precipitation, it is a notable month due to the shift it represents from the drier, more temperate conditions of the dry season to the more humid and wet conditions of the wet season.
