Weather in March
Temperature
The shift into March uncovers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.4°C (84.9°F), subtly different from the previous month. Pongani encounters a steady low-temperature average of 22.2°C (72°F) throughout the month of March.Heat index
During March, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
Humidity
March is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 81%.Rainfall
In March, the rain falls for 30 days. Throughout March, 263mm (10.35") of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 330.7 rainfall days, and 2168mm (85.35") of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in March is 8.1h.UV index
February through October and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during March, leads to the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
