Temperature

The shift into March uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.3°C (91.9°F), subtly different from the previous month. Despite the hot March days, Angossas's nights see an average temperature plunge to an agreeable 20.3°C (68.5°F).

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 45°C (113°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 72%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January and March, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, the average maximum UV index of 7 translates into the following recommendations:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
