Amman in March — Full Picture
March marks the start of Amman's best stretch. It averages about 17°C/6°C, with rain tailing off and far more sunshine than the winter months.

This is prime day-trip weather: the Dead Sea is pleasant rather than scorching, Petra is comfortable for the long walking day, and Wadi Rum is warm by day without the summer extremes.
Note: mornings and evenings are still cool with a big temperature swing, and the odd late-season shower lingers — pack a light jacket and a rain layer.
