March weather forecastPiddig, Philippines

Weather in March

March, the first month of the spring in Piddig, is still a warm month, with an average temperature varying between 23.1°C (73.6°F) and 29.7°C (85.5°F).

Temperature

Piddig experiences a transition to a still moderately hot 29.7°C (85.5°F) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of March, not greatly differing from February's 28.5°C (83.3°F). During March, the average low-temperature is recorded at a still moderately hot 23.1°C (73.6°F).

Heat index

In March, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 35°C (95°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

March and April, with an average relative humidity of 73%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In Piddig, in March, during 7.6 rainfall days, 7mm (0.28") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 196.2 rainfall days, and 1159mm (45.63") of precipitation is accumulated.

Sunshine

In Piddig, the average sunshine in March is 10.3h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are February through November, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
