March weather forecast
Poland

March marks the onset of spring in Poland and is characterized by a noticeable change in the weather. Temperatures begin to rise, signaling an end to the harsh winter. The average temperatures during March tend to range from 1°C (33.8°F) to 4°C (39.2°F), a significant increase from February's average.

In the capital, Warsaw, the mercury climbs steadily throughout the month, with average temperatures fluctuating between 2°C (35.6°F) and 6°C (42.8°F). Coastal cities like Gdansk experience similar temperature increases, with averages ranging from 2°C (35.6°F) to 5°C (41°F).

In the southern mountainous regions, such as Zakopane, March still retains a wintry chill. The average temperature in these regions remains close to 0°C (32°F), though snowfall gradually decreases as the month progresses.

March experiences slightly more precipitation compared to the previous months. The average rainfall ranges from 30mm (1.18") to 40mm (1.57") across the country. Most of this precipitation is still in the form of snow in the early part of the month, especially in the mountainous regions, but by the end of March, rainfall becomes more common.

As March progresses, the snow that has blanketed the country through the winter months starts to melt, especially in the lowland areas. This transition is not always smooth, and it is not uncommon for periods of thaw to be followed by sudden frost and snowfall, a phenomenon often referred to as "March cats."

The daylight hours continue to extend in March, with approximately 12 hours of daylight by the end of the month. The increase in daylight and the rising temperatures make March a month of significant transformation in Poland. As winter recedes and spring takes hold, the landscape begins to come alive, offering a refreshing contrast to the stark beauty of the winter months.
