Revitalizing the tropical climate, the weather in
March promotes the arrival of a warm summer. Increased humidity levels and the mercury hitting close to 35.1°C (95.2°F) mark a notable departure from
February's weather. The city experiences an average rainfall of 33mm (1.3"), indicating the initial onset of summer showers. The warmth of the day stretches well into the nights, making air conditioning a necessity. Together with a boost in daylight hours, the change reflects the transition from winter to summer in
Loei,
Thailand.
Temperature
Loei records an average high-temperature of a torrid 35.1°C (95.2°F) as March arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. A noteworthy temperature dip to a pleasant 20°C (68°F) is observed during the nights of March in Loei.
Heat index
The heat index for March is estimated at a life-threatening hot 46°C (114.8°F).
Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
