Barcelona in March Spring begins but the weather is unsettled, with sunshine turning to a shower without warning. The parks put out new leaves. If Easter is early, Holy Week processions start in late March. Mornings and evenings are still cool, so do bring a thin layer.
Neither hot nor cold: 17°C by day and 9°C after dark. Spending hours on foot was easy. Showers came now and then, about 6 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. March was bone dry in 1 of 20 years, yet 2025 brought 16 rain days.
March 2023 averaged 18.8°C by day, 2.0°C above the 20-year mean. Cold snaps happened: the record low for March was 1°C, set in 2010.
