Weather in March
Temperature
Befale's March reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 33.6°C (92.5°F), exhibiting a minor difference from February. March nights in Befale bring a pronounced temperature shift, with averages hovering around an agreeable 21.5°C (70.7°F).Heat index
For most parts of March, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 47°C (116.6°F). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
