The advent of March presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.5°C (88.7°F), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. During March, Chongoncito experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 22.5°C (72.5°F).

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is appraised at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are foreseeable. Prolonged effort may bring about heatstroke.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
