typical weather in Spain late March

I know how weather varies, but in general, does anybody know how the weather (average temp and precip) "typically" is in Spain at the end of March? We'll be in Madrid, Seville, Torremolinos, and Granada. Thanks for your help!

See weatherbase.com or worldclimate.com

But the panhandle of Florida is a little over-generalized, isn't it? It can snow in Madrid in late March, I think; I believe that would be unprecedented in even the most norther counties of Florida (though maybe late frosts still occur then, once every ten or twenty years?)

It has SO, so much to do with altitude, and Florida doesn't have it.

Best wishes,

Rex

We were in southern Spain in april and the high temps were in the 70's and low 80's - in Marbella everyone was using the pool. We got to madrid by the end of April and the high was around 90 - but I understand that was unusually warm.

We were in Spain last year at the end of March, and southern Spain was in the 70's and sunny, Madrid was in the 60's.

We were back again this spring, and Madrid was in the upper 40's to low 50's and rainy on May 1st! (But I think that was unusually cold)

So a range of temperatures is possible. The usual answer-- I would take layers, short sleeves and a sweater and light jacket, so that you're prepared for anything.
