March at Porbandar: 22-33C, coastal humidity rising. Kirti Mandir and Gandhi sites fine; the beach is better early morning. Heat starts asserting itself, day-windows compress to dawn and dusk.

The March story

March is Porbandar's pivot month — the cool-coast window of November-February is closing, but the early-month corridor still delivers walkable Gandhi-heritage circuits. Kirti Mandir is shaded enough for late-morning visits; Sudama Temple and Huzoor Palace facade need pre-10am for photo light. Chowpatty Beach evening cluster still cool and pleasant. By month-end, day-windows compress to 5:30-9am and 6-9pm. The Bird Sanctuary migrants are mostly gone (late winter departure). Travellers using Porbandar as a Saurashtra-coast stop should book early March or late February for best conditions. April heat ahead.
