Weather in March

March, the first month of the spring in Maligaspe, is a tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 25.3°C (77.5°F) and 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Temperature

March and April represent the warmest period, with an average high-temperature of 30.3°C (86.5°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in March is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
