Weather in March

Yangon's transformation into the peak dry season reaches its zenith in March. The weather replicates February's dry conditions but with slightly elevated temperatures and a modest increase in humidity up to 69%. Despite the hot afternoons, evenings and nights remain quite pleasant, owing to the balanced temperature range. A notable increase in daylight hours to 12 makes it advantageous for sightseeing and exploring the city's rich cultural heritage. The UV index rises to its yearly maximum of 12, hence, sun protection should remain a priority when venturing outdoors.

Temperature

Yangon's shift into March is marked by a subtle change to a torrid 36°C (96.8°F) from February's 34.5°C (94.1°F) in temperature. Yangon observes a dramatic plunge from daytime highs in March, settling at an average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at a life-threatening hot 54°C (129.2°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation. One should apply and reapply liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours and immediately after a swim or an outdoor exercise.
