Brisbane In March Travel Guide

Brisbane in March is the first month of Autumn, but is still very summery, humid and hot.

School holidays fall in March and April depending upon when Easter is each year.

In my opinion, March is the start of the one of the best periods to visit Brisbane. The weather is still very warm, but not quite as hot and steamy as the summer months.

Sightseeing and walks around town are not as uncomfortable, and outdoor activities can be mixed with indoor activities in air conditioning!

For those without school age children, make sure you pick the times when local schools are not on their holidays (usually around Easter), for maximum enjoyment of the attractions and sights.

Visiting Brisbane during March you'll want to know about the weather, what you can expect, what to wear or pack, what's on and what you can do.

Weather in Brisbane in March

# - I have quoted Gold Coast sea temperature because the data I found for Brisbane was a bit difficult to interpret. Moreton Bay can have significantly different temperatures than the general ocean temperatures and realistically you don't come to Brisbane for the beach, but you do go to Gold and Sunshine Coasts for that. This is just an indication.

Tips for Visitors to Brisbane in March

For Australian Visitors

March, in my opinion, is the start of the nicest weather for sightseeing in Brisbane. Brisbane can still get pretty hot and humid at this time of the year.

School holidays can fall during this month, usually depending upon when Easter falls.

Tips - I still believe air-conditioned accommodation and transport are essential at this time of the year.

For Overseas Visitors To Brisbane

March isn't usually quite as fierce as summer weather, but it still gets hot and humid and there can be quite a bit of rain. It is noticable how it starts to cool down towards the end of the month.

School holidays can affect the busy-ness of attractions and sights around Brisbane, but they move around at bit depending upon when Easter falls, so you have to check the dates each year.

I believe air-conditioning in your accommodation is absolutely essential as well as in your hire car! When hiring a smaller car you will find a manual transmission copes better with the airconditioning than the automatics. It is not so important in the larger cars.
