We’ve rounded up the best March hotspots if you fancy getting away from the chilly UK and soaking up some sunshine.

Tenerife: 22.3C

Southern Tenerife resorts such as Playa de Las Americas and Los Gigantes see temperatures creeping up into the 20s during March with an average of 22.3C.

Depending on how close you are to the coast, the cool winds and light breezes make temperatures feel much cooler.

Egypt: 21.9C
