Weather in March
March, the first month of the spring in Aswalapitiya, is a tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between min 19.2°C (66.6°F) and max 31.5°C (88.7°F).Temperature
Aswalapitiya reaches its highest average temperatures in March, measuring 31.5°C (88.7°F) at the peak and 19.2°C (66.6°F) at the lowest.Heat index
The heat index value for March is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
