Temperature

As Djilas steps into March, the average high-temperature holds at a still hot 33.8°C (92.8°F), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Djilas encounters a substantial decline from its daily high to a low-temperature of 20.3°C (68.5°F) during March nights.

Heat index

During March, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In Djilas, the average relative humidity in March is 44%.

Rainfall

Months with rainfall are March through November. March is the first month it rains. Throughout March, in the average 0.5 rainfall days, it receives 1mm (0.04") of precipitation. In Djilas, during the entire year, the rain falls for 58.2 days and collects up to 230mm (9.06") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests this advice:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
