Rainfall amounts in March were smaller than average in almost all regions. Unlike the central winter months this year, during which most of the rains occurred in one single event, in March, it rained in a relatively large number of days and events with small amounts in each of them.

With regard to temperature, March was overall close to average and was characterized by significant temperature variations during it. This was especially evident in the last ten days of the month, the first part of which was hot and even rainy, while the second part was considerably cooler than average.
