What March feels like
March is festival season — the Riverwalk and the parks run full every weekend and oak pollen coats every dark car in yellow. Spring training games at Steinbrenner Field sell out, so buy ahead if the Yankees are on the schedule.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 73° — comfortable for swimming.
