March weather forecast
Comasagua, El Salvador

The Comasagua weather in March exhibits a slightly warmer setting than its predecessor, February. In March, rainfall accumulates to about 5mm (0.2"), defying the drier aspects of the region's typical weather trends for the same period. Notwithstanding, cloud coverage remains minimal, not obstructing the sunlight streaming through providing longer daylight hours. From leisurely walks to passionate treks across the trodden paths, March offers the city a balanced weather experience. Nevertheless, the highest UV index of 7 in this month calls for steady precautions against intense sun exposure.

Temperature

March, with its average high-temperature of 32.6°C (90.7°F) and an average low-temperature of 21.1°C (70°F), holds the record as the warmest month in Comasagua.

Heat index

March's mean heat index is computed to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

The least humid month is March, with an average relative humidity of 62%.

Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
