Hola Huw,

For months we say when asking:

¿En qué mes estamos?

Which month is it [now]?

Answering to this question you'd say:

Estamos en marzo.

It is March.

You'd use "a" when specifying the date, but not when you only say the month.

Estamos a 15 de marzo.

It is March 15th.

I hope this helps.
