March weather forecast
Quyquyhó, Paraguay

As the city transitions into March, the weather turns more comfortable. The drop in maximum temperature by several degrees makes afternoons less oppressive, with a maximum of only around 30.9°C (87.6°F). The decrease in daylight and sunshine hours, coupled with increased number of rainfall days, leads to a moist but agreeable climate. Consequently, the wind calms a bit, standing at a normal speed, maintaining pleasant weather throughout the day. The marginally risen atmospheric pressure also contributes to the cooler weather scenario.

An average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.9°C (87.6°F) marks March in Quyquyhó, Paraguay, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in February. During the month of March, the temperature in Quyquyhó generally drops to a low average of 19.1°C (66.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during March is estimated at a very hot 38°C (100.4°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
