March in Chacarita, Costa Rica, brings average daily highs of 32°C and overnight lows of 25°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 10 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 32%. Leave some freedom to swap an outdoor day with a sheltered one. There is no need to read the average as a fixed number of lost days; it says nothing about how long rain lasts on each occasion.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 12 hours. Sunshine averages 12 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility.
April has an average daily high of 31°C, 1°C lower than March. Its historical rain-day chance is 76%, compared with 32% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
