March weather forecast
Mabay, Cuba

The first month of the spring, March, is a tropical month in Mabay, Cuba, with an average temperature fluctuating between 19.3°C (66.7°F) and 30.4°C (86.7°F).

Temperature

Mabay's entry into March measures an average high-temperature of a hot 30.4°C (86.7°F), closely parallel to the preceding month. During the month of March, an average temperature of 19.3°C (66.7°F) is noted during the nights.

Heat index

March's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
