Weather in March
Temperature
The transition into March reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), mirroring a close resemblance to February. During the month of March, Maevatanana's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 22.7°C (72.9°F).Heat index
In March, the average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

In Maevatanana, in March, during 26.3 rainfall days, 178mm (7.01") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 163.5 rainfall days, and 1163mm (45.79") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

February, March, August through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In March, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
