March weather forecast
Ambohipaky, Madagascar

The first month of the autumn, March, is still a hot month in Ambohipaky, Madagascar, with an average temperature varying between 31.1°C (88°F) and 24.5°C (76.1°F).

Temperature

March experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.1°C (88°F), barely different from February's 30.5°C (86.9°F). Throughout March, an average low-temperature of 24.5°C (76.1°F) is experienced.

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 41°C (105.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are February and March, with an average relative humidity of 80%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 25.8 days. Throughout March, 145mm (5.71") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, in Ambohipaky, there are 178.2 rainfall days, and 1006mm (39.61") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

The average sunshine in March is 8.8h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through May, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 7 during March leads to these advisories:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
