March weather forecast
Ukraine

March signifies the onset of spring in Ukraine, marking a transition from the harsh winter to milder temperatures. However, the weather during this month is quite unpredictable, with occasional cold snaps still occurring, particularly in the early part of the month. Generally, the average temperatures across the country range from 0°C (32°F) to 8°C (46.4°F). In the northern regions, such as the city of Chernihiv, temperatures still hover around freezing point, while in the southern city of Odessa, they can reach up to 10°C (50°F).

Snowfall in March significantly decreases compared to February, especially in the southern and central parts of Ukraine. Yet, the northern regions and the Carpathian Mountains may still experience occasional snow showers. The Crimea Peninsula, owing to its geographical location, begins to experience the signs of spring earlier, with less snow and warmer temperatures compared to the rest of the country.

Comparatively, March represents a noticeable transition from February's deep winter conditions. Temperatures begin to rise, and the heavy snowfall gives way to sporadic rain showers, signalling the arrival of spring. Looking forward to April, the weather continues to warm, with temperatures steadily increasing and the landscapes transforming with blossoming flora, marking a complete shift from the winter season. Despite the unpredictability, March in Ukraine heralds the renewal of the landscape and the beginning of warmer days.
