Weather in March
Temperature
Peliyagoda witnesses its highest average temperatures during March and April, peaking at 31.8°C (89.2°F).Heat index
In March, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Notice!
