What's the Weather Like in Liverpool in March
March is the beginning of a slight warming trend for Liverpool as the city and the region begin to emerge from a long and cold winter. Now that spring has officially arrived, this can be a good time to visit the area. With smaller crowds, there are shorter lines at the major attractions and most popular restaurants. Do, however, keep in mind that it can still be cold, especially during the early part of the month.
Temperature
While still on the cold side, temperatures are at least slightly warmer than they have been over the winter months. The average overall daily temperature for this time of the year stands at 7°C (45°F). Sweaters and heavy jackets are still needed first thing in the morning when average overnight lows will fall to 5°C (41°F). However, temperatures are slightly warmer in the afternoon with highs climbing to 9°C (48°F). With winds coming in off the nearby sea, it can also feel cooler than it actually is.
Sea Temperature
Water temperatures continue to be on the cool side as well throughout the month. The average temperature is just 8°C (46°F). In fact, these are the coolest the water temperatures will be throughout the entire year. As a result, most people tend to visit the area beaches during other times of the year. Additionally, the region will only experience an average of 6 hours of sunshine a day during the month.
Rain
A stray snow shower is not out of the question during the early part of the month. However, that risk will diminish as the temperatures rise slightly as the calendar gets closer to April. On average, the region will experience an average of 64mm of precipitation throughout the month. Most of the month is dry as only 10 days receive any measureable precipitation.
