March weather forecast
Kushtia, Bangladesh

By March, the weather conditions witness a significant shift, with temperatures soaring up to 35.3°C (95.5°F) and rarely dropping below 22.3°C (72.1°F). Increasing daylight hours indicate the arrival of longer days and shorter nights. Despite the significant rise in temperature, the humidity remains manageable which prevents the climate from becoming too uncomfortable. The pressure landscape begins to shift, setting the stage for the upcoming monsoon season. The wind speed remains fairly constant to balance out the rising temperatures.

Temperature

March's onset witnesses a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a hot 30.6°C (87.1°F) in February to a very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F). March nights are characterized by a notable drop from daytime highs, with an average low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is evaluated at a fiery hot 39°C (102.2°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 43%.

Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
