March

Weather in March

March brings with it a continuation of the tropical weather conditions, with relatively consistent temperatures and insignificant changes in average rainfall compared to February. Notably, March records the highest wind speed in the year with gusts reaching up to 16.6km/h (10.3mph). Despite the high humidity and temperature levels, the strong winds help to mitigate the heat to some extent. The availability of sunshine remains constant, with cloud cover persisting throughout this period. Planning for outdoor activities should preferably be in the early mornings or late evenings due to the swelter.

Temperature

The warmest month is March, with an average high-temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F) and an average low-temperature of 27.5°C (81.5°F).

Heat index

The heat index in March is calculated to be a tropical 33°C (91.4°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
