With a considerable increase of rainfall to 44mm (1.73"), distributed over about 15.7 days, it signals the advent of the rainy season.

Temperature

March, with its average high-temperature of 34.8°C (94.6°F) and an average low-temperature of 19.4°C (66.9°F), holds the record as the warmest month in Ban Onglouang.

Heat index

In March, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 45°C (113°F). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
