Temperature

With the advent of March, Loa experiences an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.1°C (95.2°F), mirroring a close resemblance to the previous month. Despite drastic daily temperature oscillations, Loa cools down to an average low-temperature of 23.1°C (73.6°F) in March.

Heat index

For most parts of March, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in March is 47%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through March, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: In March, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
