Weather in Cyprus in March — air and sea temperature, and climate by region

March in Cyprus marks the beginning of true spring. The weather becomes noticeably milder, sunny days increase, and nature actively comes to life after the winter rains. Despite potentially cool mornings and evenings, daytime often feels comfortably warm.

March is a transitional month: winter gradually recedes, but sudden temperature fluctuations still occur. This is the perfect time for walks, excursions, and island trips without the summer heat.
