- Meaning and lesson
March is characterized by frequent changes in weather. The compressed wording presents the month as bringing a mixture of conditions rather than one settled pattern, rather than predicting the weather in any particular March or place.
It can also be used when a run of contrasting weather seems especially typical of March, such as shifts among sun, rain, wind, cold, and mild spells. It is a broad seasonal observation, not a dependable forecast.
- When it is used
Use it as a brief seasonal observation, often after rapidly changing conditions during March. Its elliptical grammar gives it a traditional proverb-like tone; in ordinary modern prose, a fuller sentence may be clearer. Do not use it as a forecast for a specific location or year.
