Alicante in March
Around 14.5 °C by day, sea 14.8 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 out of 5 against 4.
March in Alicante is 14.5 °C by day and 14.8 °C in the sea. The water is still winter's, the air is not: by the end of the month people sit on the terraces without a jacket.
March is when load climbs from the winter 2 to 3 out of 5, the last quiet point before the season. For anyone here to view a flat that is convenient: agencies working, roads clear, owners around, and the building still showing its winter side — damp corners and whatever heats it. Winter humidity is 65% and there are 34 rainy days a year: on both counts Alicante is drier than Málaga (71% and 46) or Barcelona (68% and 56), but dry air does not remove the heating question.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 34 rainy days a year, 65% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
