March weather forecast
Clement, French Guiana

March exhibits a transition phase in Clement's weather where the rainfall starts to decrease gradually compared to the preceding months. The month’s temperatures do waver slightly; however, it hardly influences the overall tropical feel of the city. This transition is often complemented with mild winds, presaging the upcoming dry seasons. An increase in daylight hours is another noticeable aspect of March, favouring day-long outdoor activities. A marginal dip in relative humidity becomes noticeable towards the end of the month, hinting at the gradual change.

Temperature

The advent of March sees the average high-temperature at a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), subtly shifted from February's 27.9°C (82.2°F). An average temperature of 22.2°C (72°F) is recorded during the nights in March.

Heat index

The heat index in March is estimated at a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 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. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and 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 primarily vital for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
