The March weather in Swakopmund was interesting, with foggy mornings and sunny afternoons. Not too hot, but not too cold either. If you like different weather conditions, March is a great time to visit.

Bjorn SnoekThe sun shines brightly, but not as intensely as in the summer months. Expect a moderate desert climate that is both relaxing and pleasant.
ZoeBright sun contrasts with cool nights. Light rain, suitable for outdoor activities.
Sienna SmetsIt is springtime there and temperatures were moderate to warm, between 15 and 25 degrees. However, because of its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, be prepared for frequent morning fog.
