March weather forecast
Sasa, Fiji

March in Sasa, Fiji sees the weather conditions undergoing a gradual transformation from the sweltering summer to the comparatively cooler months. The month is distinguished by its high rainfall, reaching a peak of 204mm (8.03"), which is higher than both preceding and succeeding months. The drop in hours of sunshine from 8.5 hours to 8 hours per day reflects the overcast conditions typically associated with this period. As the city moves further into the year, the weather starts to show signs of the ensuing change of seasons. March, therefore, serves as a transition from the thriving summer towards the cooler and drier days.

Temperature

A minor adjustment in Sasa's average high-temperature is noted with the start of March, touching a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F) from February's 29.4°C (84.9°F). Sasa marks an average drop to a still moderately hot 24.8°C (76.6°F) during nighttime in March, following the high of the day.

Heat index

The heat index in March is computed to be a torrid 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. 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. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are March and April, with an average relative humidity of 81%.

Rainfall

March is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 26.4 days and accumulates 204mm (8.03") of precipitation.

UV index

March through October, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index in Sasa. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.
Note: During March, 6 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
