Our guide to the weather in Germany during March
Germany is an exciting and diverse destination for tourists, offering a wealth of attractions to explore. In March, be sure to pack for a range of temperatures as weather can be unpredictable. We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Germany, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Germany weather in March.
What's the temperature like in Germany during March?
It's cold in Germany during March. The temperature tops out at around 9℃ during the day, falling away to 0℃ at night. The UV index will be low at this time of year, so not something to worry about. However, if you're going to be outside for long periods it's always a good idea to apply a small amount of sunscreen to exposed skin.
Does it snow in Germany during March?
Possibly. There's a chance of snow during March but not as much as you might think. Check the local forecast before you leave home so that you can pack appropriate footwear and clothing.
Does it rain in Germany during March?
On average, there will be 7 rainy days during the month, amounting to 51.0mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. Of course, some of that rain will actually fall as sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Germany during March?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in March. With cool air temperatures, any breeze will feel cold.

11th December 2023 by Budget Traveller
While some prefer the road less travelled, I tend to find that with age, I return to the roads well travelled.
