- Evenings
- 0–4°C
- Rain
- Showers possible
- Daylight

Packtricia calculated March Maribor-area ERA5 reanalysis averages via Open-Meteo for 1991–2020: mean daily high 11.7°C, mean daily low 2.4°C and mean monthly precipitation 59.1mm. Thirty complete year-months contribute equally using daily high/low means and precipitation sums. Requested coordinates 46.5547,15.6459 returned grid 46.5,15.75 at 262m model elevation. These regional lowland estimates are not Maribor station normals or forecasts. Display bands extend rounded means by 2°C each way and do not bound extremes. Rain totals are not wet-day probabilities; frost, storms, hill paths and higher Pohorje conditions need independent actual-date checks.
