Bigiston, Suriname

March, the first month of the spring in Bigiston, is still a warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.5°C (85.1°F) and 22.8°C (73°F).

Temperature

The onset of March manifests an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 29.5°C (85.1°F), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Bigiston temperatures generally rest at a low of 22.8°C (73°F) during the March nights.

Heat index

During March, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: The UV index of 6 during March translates into the following guidance:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
