Weather in March

The first month of the spring, March, is a hot month in Pidigan, Philippines, with an average temperature ranging between min 21°C (69.8°F) and max 30.8°C (87.4°F).

Temperature

March's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a hot 30.8°C (87.4°F), slightly deviating from February's 29.3°C (84.7°F). An average low-temperature of 21°C (69.8°F) is noted during the nights in March.

Heat index

The heat index value for March is computed to be a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
