Weather in Poland in March
Although March is technically the beginning of spring, it’s usually still cold in Poland, and the weather changes often – one week, you feel as if spring is just around the corner, and next week there is snow and frost. You can experience all kinds of weather in Poland in March. An old Polish proverb says, ‘W marcu jak w garncu‘, meaning ‘March is like a pot’ (we can have anything – mixed weather conditions).
The average monthly temperature in March in Poland is 3,2°C / 37.8°F, and the average monthly rainfall level is 37,5 mm (the third lowest after February and April).
Nature starts slowly to come back to life. You may notice the first flowers blooming: white snowdrops (przebiśnieg) and yellow, white, or purple crocuses (krokus). Another symbol of early spring in Poland is willow twigs with buds (bazie). You may notice them in almost every park in Poland or buy willow twigs bunch at any florist or shopping market.

Dates to remember in Poland in March 2025
- March 4
Last day of the carnival, Śledzik (herring night), Ostatki (last days of carnival)
This is the last chance to party (typically with drinking and music) before the start of Lent (which doesn’t mean there are no parties during Lent in Poland, just not as many). The party/dinner is called in Polish Śledzik (little herring) because, during old-fashioned Polish parties, it was a popular appetizer washed down with alcohol.
- March 5
Ash Wednesday (Środa Popielcowa, Popielec)
The first day of Lent. People go to churches where priests put ashes (made from palm branches blessed on the previous year’s Palm Sunday) on people’s foreheads saying ‘Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return’ (‘Z prochu powstałeś i w proch się obrócisz’). It is a tradition among the Roman Catholics in Poland to avoid meat, alcohol, sweets, and snacks on that day.
- March 8
Women’s Day (Dzień Kobiet)
The tradition of Women’s Day is not as popular as during the communist time in Poland, but still, women usually get flowers or other gifts.
- March 10
Men’s Day (Dzień Mężczyzny)
In Poland, Boy’s Day and Men’s Day are celebrated – Boy’s Day (September 30) is a much more popular holiday than Men’s Day.
- March 17
St. Patrick’s Day (Dzień Świętego Patryka)
Poland also celebrates St. Patrick’s Day – people wear green, and there are parades, festivals, concerts.
- March 21
Truant’s Day / Skip Day (Dzień Wagarowicza)
The first day of spring. The old Polish folk tradition of the first day of spring is to drown Marzanna (a straw figure of a woman symbolizing winter) in the nearest river (nowadays, mostly in rural areas and by children at schools). For children, the first spring day is Truant’s Day / Skip Day (Dzień Wagarowicza). Some students skip classes, but usually, it’s just a special fun day at school – students dress up funnily, schools organize competitions and games, and there are no tests on this day.

Time change (zmiana czasu)
On Sunday, March 30, 2025 at 02:00 am, clocks go forward 1 hour to 03:00 am. The change to summertime in Poland occurs on the last Sunday of March. Poland switches back to regular time on the last Sunday of October. The European Union lawmakers wanted to end the twice-a-year (March and October) custom of time changes throughout the European Union, leaving member states the freedom to decide their standard time. But the coronavirus pandemic has put these plans on hold. Click here to learn more about the time change in Poland.
