Kobe in March Mornings and evenings are cool but harbor walks start to feel good by day. Climbing the Kitano slopes can work up a sweat. In spring, Asian dust sometimes hazes the sky.
A cool month: highs of 14°C, lows of 7°C. Sweaters came out of the suitcase and mostly stayed on. Showers came now and then, about 9 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 4 in 2017, 13 in 2010.
About 9 nights a month dipped under 5°C, cold enough to want a jacket for the walk back. The warmest year was 2023, with highs averaging 17.2°C, 3.2°C above normal. Cold snaps happened: the record low for March was 1°C, set in 2013.
