Standing at this cusp of change, the weather narrows the gap between day and night temperatures, leading to a comfortably warm observed climate. Tourists panning their visit to Bong in April would find the March weather a precursor to what awaits. In a nutshell, March heralds the monsoon and amplifies the temperature flux.

Temperature

Bong registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.2°C (93.6°F) with the arrival of March, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. Bong demonstrates a significant disparity from daytime highs throughout the month of March, with an average nighttime temperature of 21°C (69.8°F).

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
