March brings a transition to 35–51°F, requiring versatile layers like trench coats or light down jackets for the 11 days of rain. Game days at Red Bull Arena can be unpredictable, with raw river winds making the seating bowl feel colder than the inland streets.
March marks the start of the soccer season in Harrison, bringing a mix of early spring optimism and lingering winter dampness. As temperatures fluctuate between 35°F and 51°F, the local aesthetic shifts toward water-resistant shells and light puffers that can handle the Passaic River's unpredictable afternoon gusts. A primary pain point for visitors is the exposure at Red Bull Arena; even on a sunny 51°F day, the open-air stadium can feel frigid if you aren't shielded from the wind. Commuters at the Harrison PATH station often deal with sudden showers during the 11 days of precipitation, making a compact umbrella and moisture-wicking layers essential for the trek into Manhattan.
