Weather in March
Temperature
Playa del Carmen's shift from February to March is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.7°C (81.9°F), a slight deviation from 26.9°C (80.4°F). Playa del Carmen registers a steady nighttime temperature averaging an agreeable 22.9°C (73.2°F) throughout March.Heat index
For most parts of March, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
