Temperature

The arrival of March coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.4°C (90.3°F), indicating a minimal shift from February's 31.8°C (89.2°F). During the nights in March, San Felipe experiences a consistent average temperature of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

March's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

The months with the lowest humidity are January through March, with an average relative humidity of 59%.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
