Marbella weather in March
The clearest turn toward spring in the record: sunshine jumps by more than two hours a day over February.
March is where AEMET's normals show the year turning. Sunshine climbs from February's 180 hours to 222, the sharpest one-month jump anywhere in the record, and frost drops to zero for the first time since autumn. Rain is still present, 52mm over 4 days on average, but the daytime high is up to 19.6°C and the overnight low above 9°C. It reads as the coast's real shoulder-season opener, ahead of the calendar spring most of Europe keeps.
