March weather forecast
Ametina, Mozambique

The first month of the autumn, March, is still a warm month in Ametina, Mozambique, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.7°C (78.3°F) and an average high of 29.9°C (85.8°F).

Temperature

The advent of March signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.9°C (85.8°F), aligning closely with February. A modest decline from daytime high temperatures is noticed in March, marking the average low at a still moderately hot 25.7°C (78.3°F).

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 24.7 days. Throughout March, 176mm (6.93") of precipitation is accumulated. In Ametina, during the entire year, the rain falls for 157.3 days and collects up to 1047mm (41.22") of precipitation.

UV index

January through May, September through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Ametina. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
