Temperature
Nakhon Sawan records a slight change with March's average high-temperatures adjusting to a still fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F) from
February's 35.2°C (95.4°F). With a significant daily temperature differential, Nakhon Sawan's nighttime temperature in March falls to an average of 24.7°C (76.5°F).
Heat index
March's average heat index is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F).
Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
