With an average temperature high-close to 29.8°C (85.6°F), a gradual decline in rainfall to around 272mm (10.71") sets the stage for the change of seasons. The incoming month of April experiences significant drops in precipitation levels and humidity. Despite some signs of change, March’s climate maintains the primary characteristics of the Bolivian wet season. Less rainfall, though, leads to more sunshine hours, creating a mix of weather conditions.

Temperature

March welcomes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), not much different from the preceding month. Ixiamas experiences a consistent average temperature of 21.1°C (70°F) throughout the nights in March.

Heat index

March's heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
