In March, the warmest parts of Europe are typically in the southern Mediterranean regions, particularly:
1. Canary Islands (Spain) – Technically part of Spain but geographically off the coast of Africa, they have the most reliably warm weather in Europe in March, with average highs around 21–24°C (70–75°F) and plenty of sunshine.
2. Southern Spain – Coastal areas like Costa del Sol (Málaga, Marbella), Almería, and Seville often see daytime temperatures of 18–22°C (64–72°F) and 6–7 hours of sunshine per day.
3. Sicily (Italy) – Cities like Palermo and coastal areas can reach 17–20°C (63–68°F) with increasing sunshine.
4. Southern Greece & Crete – Crete, Rhodes, and Athens often have pleasant temperatures around 16–20°C (61–68°F), though evenings can still be cool.
5. Cyprus – Although geographically in Asia, it’s culturally/politically tied to Europe. March temperatures here can be 17–21°C (63–70°F), with warmer days toward the end of the month.
6. Madeira (Portugal) – Similar to the Canaries, it’s mild year-round, with March highs around 19–21°C (66–70°F).
7. Malta – One of the warmest European destinations in March, with averages around 16–18°C (61–64°F)
