March weather forecast
Cascabel, Panama

March, the first month of the spring in Cascabel, is still a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 22.9°C (73.2°F) and max 31.9°C (89.4°F).

Temperature

Cascabel experiences the peak of its temperatures in March and April, when the average high-temperatures rise to 31.9°C (89.4°F).

Heat index

In March, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through April, June, July and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in March suggests the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
