Fuerteventura Weather March Averages, Canary Islands

What's the weather like in Fuerteventura in March?

Is Fuerteventura Warm In March?

March sees the end of winter and for many resorts the beginning of high season in Fuerteventura. This month is decidedly warmer than winter months and temperatures will be trending upwards from March until September.

Average Daytime Temperature

Temperatures rarely drop below 14ºC during March and daytime high peaks don't go above 21ºC maintaining a comfortable temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold for comfort. 

Improving Weather Conditions 

March used to be considered an off-season month in Fuerteventura but in recent years temperatures have been steadily rising. Now, most resorts treat it as the advent of the tourist season due to the ever-warmer weather conditions.

Average Sea Temperature

You can happily dip into the azure waters around the island as the seawater temperature rarely drops below 17 degrees - even at night. Warm sea currents coming from places in Africa, such as Marsa Alam, keep the waters around the island warm throughout  March.

Average Sunshine Hours

The sun shines for 10 hours every single day and clouds are a rare sight. It only rains in three days during the whole month and rainfall comes in short, light bursts that barely amount to 20mm of total precipitation. Hot winds blowing from the Sahara desert ensure that clouds rarely linger over the island.

Jeep Safari Tour 

Fuerteventura is a large and mostly untouched island with few roads, so travellers who wish to truly explore the land should book up on a Jeep Safari tour across the island. There are only a handful of providers offering Jeep Safari tours and the tours are not available every month of the year. You can book Safari tours through the official Fuerteventura website or on the spot, when you arrive at the airport. Jeep tours include trailing across dirt roads and going off-road to explore the natural wonders of Fuerteventura, including the famous sand dunes of Corralejo.
