March weather forecast
Colombia, Cuba

The first month of the spring, March, is a hot month in Colombia, Cuba, with an average temperature varying between 20.3°C (68.5°F) and 30.2°C (86.4°F).

Temperature

The arrival of March marks a slight shift to an average high-temperature of a hot 30.2°C (86.4°F) from February's 29.3°C (84.7°F). The nighttime temperature in Colombia, during March, averages of 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 70%, March is the least humid month in Colombia.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index in Colombia are January through March, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during March leads to these instructions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
