March weather forecast
Mauritius

March marks the end of the wet peak period in Mauritius, concluding the succession of high rainfall that starts in January. Temperatures begin to decrease slightly in March, yet it continues to be quite warm, as the island transitions from the summer season to autumn.

While the rainfall in March is still high, with levels between 203mm (7.99") and 254mm (10"), it begins to taper off as the month progresses. However, despite the high rainfall, the island continues to enjoy a significant number of sunshine hours.

In terms of temperature, the decrease from February to March is marginal, and the island still experiences high temperatures, albeit not as intense as the peak summer months of January and February.

Notably, in comparison to April, the subsequent month, March is warmer and wetter. As the island moves from March into April, the decline in rainfall becomes more apparent, and temperatures start to reduce as the autumn season takes hold.

Regionally, Port Louis, on the leeward side of the island, experiences slightly drier conditions in March compared to other parts of Mauritius. Contrarily, areas at higher altitudes, such as Plaine Champagne, continue to witness substantial rainfall during this period.

March's wind conditions are similar to those in February, with strong trade winds blowing from the southeast. The average wind speeds hover between 20.9km/h (13mph) and 29km/h (18mph). Meanwhile, despite the heavy rainfall, the seawater temperature remains comfortable for swimming and water activities, maintaining an average between 22.2°C (72°F) and 27.2°C (81°F).

Although humidity levels start to decline in March, they remain relatively high. The persistence of high humidity can often make the warm temperatures feel more intense. As such, the sea breeze from the southeast trade winds serves as a welcome relief.
