March weather forecast
Wake Island, USA

March ushers in subtle changes to Wake Island's climate as it teeters on the edge of the dry and wet seasons. Wake, Peale, and Wilkes, the primary islets that make up the island, begin to witness a transition in their weather patterns during this time.

The temperature range in March exhibits a slight increase, with minimum temperatures hovering around 74°F (23.3°C) and maximums touching 84°F (28.9°C). Although the daytime warmth is notably higher than in February, it is still less intense than the peak temperatures experienced in the heart of the wet season.

A significant feature of March is the continuation of the prevailing northeasterly trade winds, albeit with a reduced vigor. These winds, which played a dominant role in February, begin to wane as the month progresses. As a result, while the humidity levels are still relatively comfortable, one can sense a gradual uptick, hinting at the impending wet season.

Rainfall in March remains modest but sees a slight increase compared to the preceding dry months. This serves as a precursor to the heavier precipitation typical of the wetter months that follow. In terms of temperature progression, while February experienced cooler nights and temperate days, March inches closer to the warmer spectrum, preparing the island for the onset of the wetter months. April, the subsequent month, is poised to bring further warmth and a noticeable rise in humidity and precipitation, signaling a clearer shift into Wake Island's wet season.
