With the arrival of March, Pitpitan's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 31.8°C (89.2°F), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. An average minimum temperature of 22.9°C (73.2°F) is recorded during the month of March.

Heat index

The heat index value during March is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. 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. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
