Weather in March
Temperature
The transition into March reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), mirroring a close resemblance to February. During March nights, Barranco records an average temperature of 22.5°C (72.5°F).Heat index
During March, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
