Bangkok in March

The heat properly sets in. Rain is still light, but outdoor sightseeing at midday is hard, so you end up moving early in the morning or after dark. A stop in a mall or cafe makes the day easier.

March brought serious heat to Bangkok, 35°C on a typical afternoon and 27°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. It stayed mostly dry, with 3 rain days on average. March was bone dry in 2 of 20 years, yet 2011 brought 8 rain days.

Highs topped 30°C on 30 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
