Average March here is similar to an average January in Nashville, so if it's below that, that generally means pretty chilly weather.

Is March normally colder than November where you live? I do feel like March in general is way more of a "late winter" month rather than a spring month.

Probably 4°C to 9°C if it's going to be relatively sunny and dry, 10°C to 15°C if it's going to be gloomy and raining.

19C is perfect.

I prefer higher of course, but I don't want to spoil myself now.

Actually it's only winter seasonal lag that I hate - summer seasonal lag is good the two warmest months by average temperature in my dream climate are August, closely followed by September, but the latter would actually feel even warmer due to increased humidity.

the temperature pattern would be fine if the monthly averages were 12c warmer.

I think March is colder than November is most places in the Northern Hemisphere. Some exceptions I know of are in Russia. Moscow is ever so slightly colder in November than March. Moscow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yakutsk, on the other hand, is significantly colder in November than in March. Yakutsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hence temperatures start dropping. The Indian monsoon is very unique with regards to this phenomenon. Its a push forward, not a lag. Very few areas experience a fast forwarded climate.

Large portions of tropical Australia display a similar phenomenon where the highest maximum temperatures occur in November and subsequently drop with the onset of the wet season. In some locales the highest maximums even occur in October.
