Temperature

The advent of March reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F), showing minimal difference from the prior month. Pequizeiro, during March nights, observes an average temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index in March is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

February and March, with an average relative humidity of 85%, are the most humid months.

Rainfall

March is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 29.6 days and accumulates 204mm (8.03") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January through April, October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In March, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
