Temperature

In March, La Espigadilla experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 31.1°C (88°F) in February to a still hot 31.5°C (88.7°F). An average nighttime temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) is recorded in La Espigadilla during March.

Heat index

The heat index in March is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Humidity

The least humid month is March, with an average relative humidity of 72%.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
