What season is it in March? The world, region by region
In March, 42 of 117 regions are in a dry season, 15 in a wet one and 60 in between; the northern hemisphere is in spring (55 regions), the southern in autumn (23) and 39 regions are tropical, with no cool season. The region with most places at their best is Lesser Antilles, 100% of its 21.
Each row averages the region's own places from monthly climate normals: the afternoon feels-like high, the month's rain and its share of the year, and the hazard and condition seasons on somewhere in it. Wet means the month carries well over its share of the year's rain; dry, well under.
Every region has its own year. “In season” and “off-season” below compare a region against its own twelve months, never against another region's — a hemisphere in its winter isn't “worse” than one in summer, it's just further from its own best months right now.
In season in March (28 regions)
well over a third of the region's places are at one of their own best three months right now.
