Weather in March
Temperature
The arrival of March sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.8°C (82°F), hardly diverging from February's 26.9°C (80.4°F). Potrerillos's nighttime temperature in March falls to an average of 15.9°C (60.6°F).Heat index
March's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Unrelenting activity during exposure could cause fatigue and potentially lead to heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
