March weather forecastPrey Nob, Cambodia

Weather in March

March marks a transition phase in the weather patterns of Prey Nob. The city begins to feel the heat with temperature averages climbing above those of the preceding month. Though rainfall levels see a slight spike at 50mm (1.97"), the city witnesses fewer sunny days than in February. An increased cloud cover of 29% assists in making hot afternoons somewhat more bearable. In the premises of this warm composure, the following month of April turns up the heat a notch higher.

Temperature

The onset of March manifests an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.4°C (84.9°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. During March, Prey Nob perceives a slight decrease in temperature from daytime highs, settling at an average low of 26.7°C (80.1°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is appraised at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 75%.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
