Weather in March
Temperature
The onset of March marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.6°C (83.5°F), hardly differing from February's 29.6°C (85.3°F). During March nights, Mathibestad witnesses a consistent average temperature of 17.2°C (63°F).Heat index
During March, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
