What you gain in March
- ↑26°C peak warmth with zero rain: the most physically comfortable month of the year for walking the city — Xochimilco, Coyoacán, and the Centro Histórico at their most pleasant
- ↑Jacaranda season beginning: by mid-to-late March the jacaranda trees throughout Condesa and the UNAM campus turn violet — one of the city's most celebrated annual visual events
- ↑First outdoor terrace season: the 26°C afternoons bring Condesa and Roma Norte's outdoor café culture back to full life after the cool January–February months
What you sacrifice
- ↓Spring break bringing more domestic tourists from mid-March: Chapultepec and the main archaeological sites busier than January–February
- ↓Hotels ticking up from January lows as spring break demand builds — advance booking now necessary for the best properties
- ↓Pollen season: the jacaranda bloom is beautiful but affects those with allergies
