Cancun in March
This popular Mexican hotspot has a hot, tropical climate all year, so it’s always the right time to head to Cancun. However, if you want to avoid the area’s summer heat, March is a beautiful time to visit. An average of 34.2 °C should mean you’re nice and warm for your whole trip.
Cuba in March
The Caribbean island of Cuba is a perfect spot to soak up some late-winter sun. With an average of 27.5 °C and a low chance of rain, March is one of the best months to visit Cuba. The island has a rich history and a unique feeling among the many islands of the Caribbean. The sea is warm throughout the year, and the area is little explored, making Cuba an excellent place for scuba diving.
Fuerteventura in March
March can be the perfect time to visit this Canary island. While it’s very early in the summer season, there is still around 7 hours of sunshine a day and only 10mm of rain on average for the whole month. March was previously considered the off-season for Fuetervneura, but plenty of tourists visit the island.
Hurghada in March
Hurghada is Egypt’s second-largest city and a prime tourist hotspot on the Red Sea coast. March is a great time to visit the area, as the average high of 21.9 °C is much more comfortable than the scorching summer temperatures. With over 8 hours of sunshine daily, it’s a fantastic place to explore and top up your tan.
Las Vegas in March
If you’ve ever wanted to visit Las Vegas, but the thought of 40 °C temperatures puts you off, now is a fantastic time to visit. Springtime in Nevada sees temperatures peak at around 21.6 °C, making for a much more comfortable time as you explore. Pack plenty of sun cream, though, as the city averages ten hours of sunshine a day this month.
No matter where you head this March, remember to arrange Comprehensive Travel Insurance as soon as your trip is booked.
