Weather in March

In Sylhet, March marks the start of pre-monsoon summertime, characterized by higher temperatures and sporadic rainfall. The days become longer, and the humidity starts to pick up, reaching up to 55% relative humidity. This month witnesses a substantial leap in rainfall, with volumes reaching up to 49mm (1.93") over 11.3 days. The monsoon's approaching hints are perceivable through increased cloud cover compared to the relatively clear skies in February. These weather changes in March create a distinctive pattern, guiding the way for the rigorous climate of the upcoming monsoon season.

Temperature

With the onset of March, Sylhet observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from February's warm 29.3°C (84.7°F) to a hot 33.1°C (91.6°F). Sylhet observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in March, settling at an average low-temperature of 18.4°C (65.1°F).

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
