The clearest day of the month is March 31, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 43% of the time. For reference, on November 21, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 76%, while on July 22, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 60%. PrecipitationA wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Luxembourg, the chance of a wet day over the course of March is gradually increasing, starting the month at 24% and ending it at 27%. For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 35% on May 23, and its lowest chance is 24% on March 2. Over the course of March in Luxembourg, the chance of a day with only rain increases from 20% to 26%, the chance of a day with mixed snow and rain remains an essentially constant 2% throughout, and the chance of a day with only snow remains an essentially constant 1% throughout. RainfallTo show variation within the month and not just the monthly total, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day. The average sliding 31-day rainfall during March in Luxembourg is essentially constant, remaining about 1.5 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 3.1 inches or falling below 0.3 inches. SunOver the course of March in Luxembourg, the length of the day is rapidly increasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day increases by 1 hour, 52 minutes, implying an average daily increase of 3 minutes, 43 seconds, and weekly increase of 26 minutes, 2 seconds. The shortest day of the month is March 1, with 11 hours, 1 minute of daylight and the longest day is March 31, with 12 hours, 52 minutes of daylight. The latest sunrise of the month in Luxembourg is 7:17 AM on March 1 and the earliest sunrise is 1 hour, 2 minutes earlier at 6:15 AM on March 30. The earliest sunset is 6:18 PM on March 1 and the latest sunset is 1 hour, 48 minutes later at 8:06 PM on March 31. Daylight saving time (DST) ends at 3:00 AM on March 31, 2024, shifting sunrise and sunset to be an hour earlier. For reference, on June 20, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 5:27 AM and sets 16 hours, 20 minutes later, at 9:46 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 8:30 AM and sets 8 hours, 7 minutes later, at 4:37 PM. The figure below presents a compact representation of the sun's elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon) and azimuth (its compass bearing) for every hour of every day in the reporting period. The horizontal axis is the day of the year and the vertical axis is the hour of the day. For a given day and hour of that day, the background color indicates the azimuth of the sun at that moment. The black isolines are contours of constant solar elevation. MoonThe figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for March 2024. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.
HumidityWe base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night. The chance that a given day will be muggy in Luxembourg is essentially constant during March, remaining around 0% throughout. For reference, on July 11, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time, while on October 3, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time. WindThis section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The average hourly wind speed in Luxembourg is essentially constant during March, remaining within 0.2 miles per hour of 10.3 miles per hour throughout. For reference, on January 17, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 11.3 miles per hour, while on August 4, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.8 miles per hour. The hourly average wind direction in Luxembourg throughout March is predominantly from the west, with a peak proportion of 36% on March 13. Growing SeasonDefinitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere). The growing season in Luxembourg typically lasts for 7.0 months (212 days), from around April 6 to around November 4, rarely starting before March 13 or after April 28, and rarely ending before October 14 or after November 27. The month of March in Luxembourg is more likely than not fully outside of the growing season, with the chance that a given day is in the growing season rapidly increasing from 3% to 39% over the course of the month. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F. The average accumulated growing degree days in Luxembourg are essentially constant during March, remaining within 12°F of 16°F throughout. Solar EnergyThis section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon, and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and ultraviolet radiation. The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in Luxembourg is increasing during March, rising by 1.5 kWh, from 2.4 kWh to 3.9 kWh, over the course of the month.

Within 10 miles is also essentially flat (0 feet). Within 50 miles is also essentially flat (0 feet). The area within 2 miles of Luxembourg is covered by trees (68%) and cropland (25%), within 10 miles by trees (41%) and cropland (29%), and within 50 miles by trees (40%) and cropland (31%). Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather in Luxembourg, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

DisclaimerThe information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
