Weather in March
Temperature
With the onset of March, Piet Plessis's average high-temperature clocks in at a warm 28.9°C (84°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Throughout March, an average low-temperature of 17.7°C (63.9°F) is expected.Heat index
During March, the heat index is computed to be 29°C (84.2°F). One might feel worn out with persistent exposure and activity, resulting in heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
