March weather forecast
North Korea

As North Korea transitions from winter to spring, the weather in March exhibits significant changes compared to the previous month, February. March marks the onset of warmer temperatures, though the weather can still be relatively chilly, especially in the earlier part of the month.

In the capital city, Pyongyang, the average temperature in March ranges from 1°C (33.8°F) to 6°C (42.8°F), a noticeable increase from the sub-zero temperatures of February. The coastal cities of Nampo and Wonsan, influenced by the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, also experience a rise in temperature, with averages between 3°C (37.4°F) and 7°C (44.6°F). The eastern mountainous regions are slower to warm, and temperatures can still hover between -2°C (28.4°F) and 3°C (37.4°F).

March experiences a greater level of precipitation compared to the drier months of January and February. The form of precipitation also begins to shift from snow to rain as the month progresses and temperatures rise. This increased precipitation sets the stage for the vibrant spring season that follows.

In comparison to April, the subsequent month, March's temperatures are still relatively low, and the full bloom of spring has yet to be seen. However, towards the end of the month, the landscapes start to transform, with the earliest spring flowers breaking through the thawing ground.

March is a month of transition in North Korea, as the landscape shakes off the last vestiges of winter and begins to embrace the arrival of spring. The weather, while still on the cooler side, shows signs of the warmer days to come.
