Weather in March

March ushers in the distinct feeling of spring across Georgia. Temperatures climb more noticeably than in February, making this month a transitional period between winter and spring. With the sun ascending higher in the sky, days grow longer and become increasingly warmer, especially in southern Georgia where the early signs of spring are more pronounced.

Comparatively, February's occasional snowfall in the northern regions are even rarer in March. While there might still be a few cold spells, especially in the mountainous areas, snow is largely replaced by rain showers. As we advance into April, these showers become more frequent, preparing the land for the full bloom of spring.

Rainfall in March is relatively moderate, although it can be slightly higher than in February. The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico continues to bring moist air, leading to periodic rainfall which nourishes the budding vegetation. This month, the state often witnesses nature's revival with blossoming trees and emerging greenery.

Cities like Macon in the heart of Georgia experience a pleasant blend of cool mornings and warmer afternoons, making it a delightful time for outdoor activities. On the other hand, the Blue Ridge Province, particularly in the northeastern parts, might still have some remnants of winter chill, especially during the early days of March. The coastal regions, including Brunswick and St. Simons Island, benefit from the moderating effects of the Atlantic, offering milder temperatures and making it a favorable time for beach outings before the summer crowds arrive.
