With warm days, getting progressively colder towards the end of the month, March is a great time to visit the beaches of rio.

while the temperatures range between 29°C (84°F) and 23°C (73°F) this time of the year presents a high probability of rain, 12 days per month - however, light gentle breezes and the excellent temperature of the sea (27°C or 80°F) make it very appropriate to go in for a swim.

rains do not normally exceed light precipitations and the weather is otherwise dry and perfect for clear haze-free photography and sightseeing, with days counting more than 12 hours of sunlight.
