Weather in March

The first month of the autumn, March, is also a hot month in Kumai, Indonesia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 32.3°C (90.1°F) and 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Temperature

The onset of March brings with it an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), showing a negligible variation from the month before. During March, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 23.3°C (73.9°F) at night.

Heat index

In March, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 83%.

Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
