March in Tacuati casts off the summer mantle welcoming autumn with open arms. It marks a period of considerable transition with a noticeable decrease in average high and low temperatures. Alongside that, a visible decrease in average rainfall is observed compared to the preceding months. The sunlight hours remain relatively stable but daylight hours noticeably decrease. However, comparable levels of humidity and wind speed persists, making March the month characterized by significant changes in Tacuati weather pattern.

Upon the onset of March, Tacuati witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31°C (87.8°F), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. The nighttime temperature dips to a refreshing 19.7°C (67.5°F) on average during March.

Heat index

March's mean heat index is calculated to be a blistering 40°C (104°F). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
