The shift into March reveals an average high-temperature of a tropical 31.1°C (88°F), closely mirroring February's climate. Throughout March, Comalapa experiences a low-temperature average of 19.7°C (67.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 69%.

Rainfall

The month with the least rainfall is March, when the rain falls for 10.8 days and typically collects 7mm (0.28") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March and April, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. 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. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
