What do long-term weather maps indicate for March 2023?

March heralds the arrival of the first spells of spring weather. Precipitation amounts start diminishing. Temperatures start rising gradually. The weather isn’t completely stable yet, but chances of fine weather on any given day are greater. Climatically, March is well-known for its windy days. Latest long-term models suggest that March 2023 will be relatively unstable, with zones of low pressure likely to traverse the central Mediterranean fairly regularly. These would manifest themselves as frequent bouts of cooler temperatures, showers or strong winds. We’re expecting around average precipitation. Temperatures should be around average too. March is the first month of meteorological spring. Locally, springtime is often marked by a period of indecisive and rapidly-changing weather conditions, as the weather across the Mediterranean starts shifting to summer.

* An ‘Average’ outlook means that maps are pointing towards normal storm system activity around the central Mediterranean. How seasons fare in terms of actual precipitation amounts measured locally depends on whether the rain-producing systems that form around the Maltese Islands affect land or not.

This long-term forecast is not meant to determine specific weather parameters at a point on the Maltese Islands. Instead, it looks at large scale weather patterns across Europe, and attempts to determine how these may influence the weather locally.
