Curitiba Weather in March

March weather in Curitiba

March brings warm afternoons and mild evenings, but it's often damp and cloudy. Highs reach 26°C, with lows around 17°C. Rain falls on 21 days, and the air can feel sticky. You'll get about four hours of sun a day, so don't count on clear skies for every outing.

Parks still work well between showers. Try Parque Barigui for a walk, or save indoor stops like the Oscar Niemeyer Museum for a wet spell. Long outdoor plans can be frustrating when rain keeps interrupting. If you want reliable sunshine, Curitiba's weather may disappoint.

Events and crowds

Curitiba's anniversary falls on March 29, and the city may mark it with local celebrations. The Festival de Teatro de Curitiba often takes place around March, though dates vary each year. Check the programme if you'd like to catch a show.

If you hate crowds, March is a calmer choice than the summer holiday months of December and January. Many Brazilian schools are back in session, and visitor numbers usually ease after the summer rush. Accommodation and flights can also be less costly than during peak holiday periods, though festival dates may bring more demand.

Getting around Curitiba in March

Autumn is a good time for museums, cafés and flexible city days. April is cooler and less rainy, while May and July to August are among Curitiba's best months overall. March sits between the wetter summer and those more settled months.

Travelling with kids? The Botanical Garden's greenhouse makes a handy stop when showers roll in. You can explore the glasshouse and gardens without committing the whole day to an outdoor plan. For a local meal nearby, look for barreado, a slow-cooked beef stew from Paraná.
