March weather forecast
Watusari, Indonesia

The first month of the autumn, March, is still a warm month in Watusari, Indonesia, with an average temperature varying between 23.2°C (73.8°F) and 29.8°C (85.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of March coincides with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.8°C (85.6°F), indicating a minimal shift from February's 28.9°C (84°F). Throughout March, Watusari records an average temperature of 23.2°C (73.8°F) at night.

Heat index

Throughout March, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 82%.

Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing.
