The Weather in Malaga in March
We never tire of saying it: In Malaga we enjoy almost an eternal spring. While in March the weather can still be unsettled at times with the occasional rain, the sun takes a strong role every day.
Temperatures easily hover around 20ºC and can even reach 23ºC/25ºC on hotter days.
Many people already enjoy the beach sunbathing and some taking their first baths (the water is still cold, around 16ºC).

It is an ideal weather, with mild temperatures, to enjoy spring in nature, take a walk and get to know the city, have a drink on a terrace or discover our wonderful province.
