Weather in March

March, the first month of the spring in Merdeka, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 32.6°C (90.7°F) and min 24°C (75.2°F).

Temperature

March's arrival shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.6°C (90.7°F), hardly different from the previous month. March witnesses an average nighttime temperature of 24°C (75.2°F).

Heat index

During March, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 44°C (111.2°F). Prudent: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Heatstroke becomes imminent with sustained exertion.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

March and June, with an average relative humidity of 75%, are the least humid months.
