Arab Weather - A few days separate us from the beginning of March, which is known for its many weather fluctuations, especially in the Arab region, as this month is considered a transitional period separating winter from spring in the northern hemisphere.

Climate information for March

March is considered a transitional month, that is, the month that separates the seasons of the year, as it comes between winter and spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

March combines the winter and spring seasons, as the first 20 days of March are considered to be part of the winter season astronomically, while the last 10 days of March are considered to be part of the spring season astronomically, as the vernal equinox begins in the northern hemisphere on March 21.

From a meteorological perspective, the first day of March is considered the beginning of spring.

The month of March includes 20 days of the winter quincentenary period, which begins on January 31 and ends on March 20. March coincides with two periods of Sa'ad, which are the Sa'ad al-Sa'ud period, which extends from February 25 to March 8, and the Sa'ad al-Khabayya period, which extends from March 8 to March 20, which is the end of the winter quincentenary and the beginning of the vernal equinox.

The weather systems in March differ from other months of the year, as the atmosphere in this month is characterised by rapid movement and fluctuations, which affects our Arab region with frequent weather fluctuations between high and low temperatures.

Also, the Khamasin depression systems will gradually begin to become active this month, affecting the Arab region, passing through North Africa and the Maghreb countries and up to the eastern Mediterranean.

The Khamaseen depression is a seasonal weather system that forms in the spring, usually between March and May. It is formed as a result of the difference in atmospheric pressure between the cold regions in the north and the hot regions in the south. It is accompanied by a significant decrease in atmospheric pressure and great activity in the winds, which are usually dry and hot and come from the Sahara Desert carrying sandstorms.
