Weather in March
Temperature
The advent of March sees the average high-temperature at a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), subtly shifted from February's 29.2°C (84.6°F). During March, Old-Yundum's temperature averages to a pleasant 22°C (71.6°F) at night.Heat index
March's heat index is calculated to be a tropical 30°C (86°F). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
