March in Espiritu Santo — middling scores, decent value

Days in March average 27°C (81°F) and humidity near 83% — front-load outdoor plans before the heat builds and treat the middle of the day as indoor time.

This is the year's wettest stretch at 360 mm, but with about 22 days with 6+ hours of sunshine it is not a total loss; an indoor fallback covers the risk.

Pack the lightest breathable clothing you own, a hat, and more water than feels necessary, a proper rain shell rather than an umbrella.

Budget for low-season pricing, and crowds are light for this destination.
