Our guide to the weather in India during March
We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for India, 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 India weather in March.
How hot is it in India during March?
Expect heat in India during March. The temperature hits about 37℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 25℃ at night. The UV index will be very high at this time of year, so you'll need to protect your eyes and skin. Avoid sun exposure between 10am and 4pm where possible. If outdoors, find shade, wear sun-protective clothing, wear UV-blocking sunglasses and generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every hour or so. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies! Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand will increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in India during March?
The answer is no. India is typically bone dry in March. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in India during March?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in March. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
