Weather in March

The first month of the spring, March, is a hot month in Masiit, Philippines, with temperature in the range of an average high of 30.5°C (86.9°F) and an average low of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Temperature

The transition from February to March sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a tropical 30.5°C (86.9°F), from a not significantly different 28.8°C (83.8°F). Masiit, in the month of March, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

March's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. 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 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. 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. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 77%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in March interprets into the following recommendations:
Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
