March Weather Guide
Discover the highs and lows of March in various destinations around the world.
March temperatures have a lot of unpredictability about them, but there are some sure-fire bets. As far as the USA goes, the Southeast tends to have the comfiest weather in March. Think Alabama, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, or Florida (Miami and Key West are excellent beach destinations this time of year). Southern California (think Los Angeles), Arizona, and Texas are also especially sunny, making the lake or beach tempting.
If the Caribbean and Americas seem like a bore to you, why not head to Australia, or perhaps Cape Town in South Africa? Both of these spots on the globe feature lovely weather in March.
All that being said, while the weather in Europe isn't at its best in March, this means you can enjoy a quieter off season vacation in places like Paris or London.

Traveling Abroad
Where is the best weather in March, outside the US? While Hawaii is a year-round favorite, March is one of its cooler months. Other tropical destinations besides Hawaii that are worth journeying to in March include the Caribbean, in particular Cuba, and many countries in Central and South America - Argentina and Chile are a few highlights.If the Caribbean and Americas seem like a bore to you, why not head to Australia, or perhaps Cape Town in South Africa?

Skiing for Spring Break
While many destinations are in full bloom this time of year, ski season hasn't yet wound down in the US, so you can still hit the slopes at Colorado resorts in Breckenridge, Aspen, and more. And although it's cold and rainy in the Northeast, skiing in Vermont (Stowe, Killington) a highlight. Canada and the Alps are also great bets.
