Weather in March
Temperature
As February turns into March, the average high-temperatures rest at a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Nights during March maintain a steady temperature, averaging at a still moderately hot 26.7°C (80.1°F).Heat index
March's average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
