March is 19.5 °C by day and 19.4 °C in the sea. What separates it from February is not the weather but the people: the island sits at 3 out of 5 for tourist load in March against 2 in February.

The reason is simple: by March the winterers are joined by the Easter-holiday crowd, and the island carries both at once. For a scouting trip it is the worst of the winter months — more crowded than January with the same weather. If you are choosing between January and March, January will show you more honestly what living here is like.

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: 32 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
