What to Wear in Seville in March

Why is Seville mild in March?
March marks the transition into warmer conditions in Seville, as the sun angle climbs and day length extends. Temperatures averaging 20°C by day and 9°C overnight reflect a city shaking off winter: the morning air still carries a cool edge, but afternoons are noticeably warmer than even four weeks prior. At 37 degrees north latitude, spring is one of the most dynamic periods in the annual cycle, with weekly temperature changes that can be larger than the month-to-month shifts of summer. This volatility is part of the appeal: Seville in March has a freshness and energy that peak-summer heat tends to mute. Layers remain essential, but there are reliable pockets of warmth that reward patience. Climate data: Open-Meteo ERA5 (1991–2020).
