Weather in Washington D.C. during March and April can be unpredictable.

 

Most days are spent educating on the lawn in sunny, mild conditions. However, sweatshirts, jackets, and a hat, gloves and scarf are good ideas to have on hand for early evenings as the sun begins to set.

We could face rain for a couple hours, and then see a hot, sunny duration of the day. Two years we faced atypical snow during GIAW! Several years sunblock was needed. 

The key is to come prepared for anything and layer clothes - especially for children. How the weather appears when you leave your hotel in the morning is not likely to be how the weather is for the duration of the day.
