The first month of the spring, March, is also a moderately hot month in Pagsanjan, Philippines, with an average temperature varying between 22.4°C (72.3°F) and 29.2°C (84.6°F).

Temperature

The transition from February to March sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.2°C (84.6°F), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. Pagsanjan, during the month of March, experiences an average low-temperature of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

March's mean heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. 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 cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. 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. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Humidity

In March, the average relative humidity is 80%.

UV index

March through May, August and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
