March on the Wicklow Way feels changeable and cool. Cloud often dominates, with frequent light drizzle or patchy rain rolling through, and occasional heavier bursts. Brighter spells do appear between fronts, but they can be short. Colder snaps still happen, and higher ground can catch sleet or wet snow, though it rarely lasts. Underfoot and sky conditions shift quickly, so the month has a stop‑start rhythm rather than long settled spells.

Starting in Marlay Park and climbing into the Dublin Mountains, the trail often sits under grey skies with light drizzle or intermittent light rain. Short clearer breaks can pass through, but passing showers are common, and a cold snap can turn some showers wintry on the higher stretches.
Continuing past Knockree toward the roundwood uplands and into Glendalough, the higher terrain tends to squeeze out more precipitation, so expect plenty of overcast hours with drizzle and occasional steadier rain. When colder air arrives, sleet or brief snow showers are possible on exposed heights, while lower sections see cold rain. Overall it stays cool by day and cold at night, with frost at times.
Through Glendalough and over to Glenmalure, then on toward Moyne, the pattern remains unsettled. Fronts can bring longer pulses of rain or heavier drizzle, interspersed with quieter lulls and brief brighter windows. Wintry bits may linger on passes in a cold spell, but they tend to be short‑lived.
From Moyne south through Shillelagh to Clonegal, the route gradually lowers and can find a few more breaks in the cloud. Showery rain and drizzle still come and go, with an odd heavier burst, but clearer intervals are a little more frequent. A stray wintry shower can still crop up during colder snaps, yet most precipitation here falls as rain.
