March weather forecast
Kakambona, Solomon Islands

Weather in March shares similarities to the preceding month, February, maintaining almost steady temperature and relative humidity levels. But unlike February, March marks a sudden escalation in rainfall, reaching 299mm (11.77") and dampening 29.3 days of the month. The wind speed drops slightly, and the sunlight hours decrease, signifying less sunshine throughput. Thus, in Kakambona, the weather in March is distinguished by a notable amount of rainfall and a decrease in sunshine hours.

Temperature

As February turns into March, the average high-temperatures rest at a still warm 28.8°C (83.8°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Kakambona sees a gentle drop from the daily peak temperature in March, with an average low settling at a still moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for March is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. 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. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Humidity

January, March and April, with an average relative humidity of 85%, are the most humid months.

Rainfall

The months with the most rainfall are March and December, with an average 299mm (11.77") of precipitation.

UV index

January through March, June, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in March translates into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
