Weather in March

A noticeable transformation in Balikumbat's weather begins in March. Acknowledged as the onset of the rainy season, rainfall rates drastically escalate from the final days of February. Although temperatures fall marginally from the February peak, it remains relatively high, fostering a warm atmosphere. Consequently, air pressure stabilizes, and the wind gains some strength. March marks the dynamic shift from dry to wet weather patterns in Balikumbat.

Temperature

Balikumbat's shift from February to March is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), a slight deviation from 29.8°C (85.6°F). March's average low-temperature reading in Balikumbat settles at a refreshing 17.3°C (63.1°F).

Heat index

For March, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. 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. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.

The average relative humidity in March is 60%.
