March weather forecast
Cobija, Bolivia

March in Cobija brings with it a slight drop in humidity to 88% and a minor decrease in rainfall compared to February. As the tail end of the summer season, March exhibits warm temperatures, yet not as extreme as the upcoming months. Paired with the consistent visibility of 6km (3.7mi), this month is favorable for outdoor activities. Given the less cloud cover from 65%, there is an enhancement in sunshine duration. Consequently, March serves a transition from the more humid start of the year, stepping towards brighter and warmer conditions.

Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
