Our take: March is genuinely one of Lima's sweetest months—you're looking at mild 21-25°C days with barely any rain and over 11 hours of sunshine daily. The sea hits a comfortable 22°C, perfect for beach lovers who don't mind warmer water. It's ideal if you prefer warm weather without the intensity of peak summer, though note it's technically still late summer here.
