Weather in March
March ushers in the first hints of spring for
Utah, although the vestiges of winter often remain, especially in the northern and mountainous regions. The state experiences a broader temperature range during this month, with average high temperatures fluctuating between 40°F (4.4°C) and 65°F (18.3°C). While the lower valleys begin to warm up, higher altitudes, especially in regions like the Wasatch Range, can still see snowfall.
Areas such as Salt Lake City will notice a decrease in snowfall compared to the peak winter months. However, mountainous regions can still receive substantial snow, keeping ski resorts operational. Conversely, southern areas like Saint George begin to enjoy warmer days, making outdoor activities more appealing.
Compared to the colder climes of
February, March demonstrates a palpable warming trend, thanks to the increasing daylight and a sun climbing higher in the sky. Yet, unpredictable spring snow showers can still surprise residents and visitors alike. As March progresses and gives way to
April, the state sees a more definitive transition into spring, with warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and more consistent weather patterns starting to prevail.
