SPRING is slowly approaching, but days in the UK are still gloomy and chilly.
If you're in need of a sunshine fix, there are sunnier places not too far away that you can fly to next month.
Tenerife: 22.3C
You can expect glorious weather all year round, but if you aren't a fan of scorching summer temperatures, March is the ideal month to visit Tenerife.
Southern Tenerife resorts such as Playa de Las Americas and Los Gigantes see temperatures creeping up into the 20s during March, with a daily average of 22.3C.
Depending on how close you are to the coast, the cool winds and light breezes make temperatures feel much cooler too, but there is practically zero chance of rain.
- Jet2holidays has seven-night stays in Tenerife from £258pp, including flights
- TUI has four-night stays in Tenerife from £255pp, including flights
Egypt: 23C
With highs of 28C, Egypt is a great choice for a March holiday.
The subtropical desert climate means there is low – if any – rainfall in March, so you won't need to pack your coats.
Egypt is less than a five-hour flight from the UK, so you don't need to spend too long on a plane to get to some sunny weather.
For a beach holiday, you should head to Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.
- TUI has all-inclusive four-night stays in Egypt from £611pp
- Loveholidays has all-inclusive seven-night stays in Egypt from £453pp
